Bike Ride List 9.23.22
It’s been a hot minute since I put out the ride list. It seemed that every time I was about to do it there was a spike in COVID. Even though the risk of getting Covid on a bike was unlikely, to me, encouraging people to gather was not the responsible to do. At some point, we need to all go on living our lives and while some people may not be interested in being in a group of any sort, … Continue reading Bike Ride List 9.23.22

A Cyclists Moral Dilemma – Cycling and COVID
A cyclists moral dilemma – Yesterday Italy and Spain said cycling is banned. At first, I was outraged. How could they do this? But after considering the logic, I agree with altering the rides I am going to do. The Cycling Today article comments that hot home for me came from Carlos Mascias, medical director of a private hospital in Madrid. “Stay at home and put the bike aside,” “Whatever possibility to minimize the impact on the resources of medical services that … Continue reading A Cyclists Moral Dilemma – Cycling and COVID
