San Diego's civil engineering isn't bicyclist friendly. The city's bicycle crowd is spotty...and with events such as Critical Mass...you either love it or hate it.

For starts, nothing beats the thrill of bicycling through downtown SD at night with a bunch of comrades. The group has an awesome message of but for the most part has turned into a big nuisance...

There are lots of BUI's going on, and there have been many incidents of bicyclists getting hurt, both from cars and each other.

I avoid CM like the plague. It's just not fun anymore and hasn't been for a while.

I enjoy going out on a single-run, maybe in the middle of the week really, really late at night. I've been looking for others to go ride with, but motivation and willingness to go the distance isn't some people's strong suits; strange, given a lot of bicyclists I know. I guess there really are 'recreational' bicyclists you see on the boardwalks at the beach and serious bicyclists who ride until where or who knows when.

I'd really like to meet a serious bicyclist with a vagina. I get nods for my having a vintage bike all the time, but it never seems to get me laid.

Bicycling, as life is; is time and space constantly in motion. You pass a stranger, another bicyclist, wave, nod, and that's all the time you get. Everyone is going somewhere, and then they disappear.

I've been breaking my old routes, exploring and taking new ones. Some nights the rides are beautiful, and others I wish I'd just stayed home.

A while back, I did encounter a bunch of riders playing Cycle Polo, I cruised over, joined the game and left happy.

I guess I just need someone who can keep up with me for those long hauls. If I meet a girl who can do that, than everything may be alright.
