I probably have said this before, but I’ll say it again; one of the best ways to see the world is from the seat of a bicycle. You are moving at a speed that is faster than walking or riding a horse, but it’s slow enough that you can see what is on the side of the road you’re riding on. Also, since you are not in an enclosed vehicle, you can feel and smell the environment around you.

\"50mph<\/a><\/p>\n

At least you can go for a swim after a hot ride in Hill Country. Oh, well, never mind. I didn’t bring my speedo anyway<\/p>\n
