Since one of my good friends blew my cover and told my spouse about this place, I'll have to be careful what I put up here or risk getting into very long and excruciating conversations about things that don't have any relevance what-so-ever.

2. Death is but a heartbeat away (okay, maybe two heartbeats depending on how fast you're pedaling.

and the number one thing I Like about riding my bicycle home in the dark is:

1. The expansion of the senses from simply two dimensional sight to the three dimensions of hearing, the sense of balance, the feeling of the darkness all around you, the depth of the air against your skin, the reliance on things not noted by the five "normal" senses....Did I mention it was dark?
