According to the proverbial “Powers-That-Be,” cycling should
be done either at the crack of dawn or when direct sunlight is available. You must also have the “Correct” riding
apparel, and bicycle, lest thou offend the God of The Cycling Snobs. Well, I say NUTS to that!
Imagine how much better (and fun) life would be if we did
not do everything we were told to? I
know a lot of people that indeed do everything they are told or are expected to
do. And, guess what? They are boring. Thus, while I may not be the “World’s Most
Interesting Man” like in those beer commercials, I do refrain from comfort
zones because they make humans two-dimensional and uninteresting.
Case in point: I rode to dinner tonight with two friends,
and while that may not sound very earth shattering, the ride was begun at dusk,
went well into the night, and by Southern California
standards, was quite cold. No matter, we
non-conformists operate around the clock in all-weather.
Shedding any and all comfort zones builds character, and certainly
makes life, and us humans, a whole lot more interesting.
Forget the norms. Get
out and pedal.
