I am only able to continue riding a bicycle after the crash that broke my neck and back 11 years ago because I was in race shape at the time. Fighting two SUVs on a bicycle was rough. I’m certainly not able to put in 400 miles or more per week on a bike any more. I can’t physically do much else other than ride a bike, even walking is hard, but I don’t think I’d still be around if I didn’t have my hour a day to escape the confines of a bed and get out of the house. I am a shell of my former self, but still enjoy the real freedom of a bicycle untethered to any real corporate tax for a right to exist on my terms.

Fairly happy. Four years in, and I feel like I’m getting most of the benefits from my homegym, insofar as my 5-day routine isn’t limited by a lack of equipment or machines. My goal was to undertake a consistent resistance training routine and I think I have that now.

Where I go from here is likely to be focused more on diet management.

I wish i enjoyed running at any weather. Canadisn winter is too rough
