I'm going to sell my two bicycles. I have a 20" Lectric folding ebike and a 20" Zizzo brand 7 speed folder...

9. I used to ride my bike everywhere.

There was a time in my twenties and thirties where I only had a bicycle. When I lived in Charlotte, it was very entertaining indeed. (Charlotte is a NASCAR town, so they look down their nose at bike riders. The number of close calls I have had just because some asshat decided that he wanted to fuck with the bike person is legendary. They just didn't like it because I was moving and they wrecked stuck in traffic.) I will never forget when I first moved there and I was riding the bike along the shoulder and I stopped for a light. I looked over and there were two bicycle cops riding up on the sidewalk beside me (It is illegal in the city to ride bikes on the sidewalk, BTW. That may have changed nowadays.) They took one look at me and said, "Dude, you had better get on the sidewalk if you want to make it home!" Yes, the police told me to break the law, as they were doing, because it was too dangerous to ride anywhere else.

Then, I moved to Nashville, and rode around that place often.

Then I moved to the Twin Cities and, after decades of riding safely around three states, I had someone pull right in front of me and I had an accident. (I posted about it here, and that got me into some issue with the case, as the opposing attorney found those posts and tried to use them against me, which was pretty funny actually.)

I have not ridden since. I am not sure I can any more anyway.

I hate it with a passion. But, what else can I do? It is too cold around here to ride now and it will be freaking May before I can even think about it again.

Just one more thing I have had to lose, while gaining nothing. Ain't life grand?
