$$$ for bike habit: Full time employment as a City Planner, part time job at a local bike shop, and tutoring sports here and there.
Best time on a bike: The flowing “in the zone” feeling of a great downhill run. Banking the corners, holding speed, dancing down the trail, landing drops, hearing nothing. Oh, and passing the boyz, wink.
