That’s the truth! I ride a Specialized Jynx 27.5 and only ride the Trek hybrid on greenways and back country roads, at least I did before I hurt my foot. I don’t do traffic.

A friend is one of the motorcycle riders in many of the tours here in the US, he was driving the bike that carried the on-course reporter at the TOC last year. Although he said he does not have any inside information, he said the same thing, cycling as a spectator sport dying, but suggested they need more criteriums to bring people out.

Crits and time trials give spectators more bang for their buck. Otherwise you can wait by the roadside for hours to get a five-minute glimpse of the peloton as it speeds by.

15.8 mile ride today, Saw my favorite street artist doing his thing so I doubled back on my ride and scored a picture when he was done:

Had not seen his work for a couple of months.
It will be painted over in about a week with new street art.

So I'm flying
on my bicycle Heading upwards from the Earth
I am jumping with no parachute
Out into the universe
I have E.T. on my bicycle
Because giving up won't work
I am riding on my rocketship
And I'm champion of the world
