How long will you continue cycling?

you have to accept that some people will never understand.. what is important however is that if you are happy, they should be happy, right?

ha. more like i should be happy to make them happy...

thing is they brought me up to cycle everywhere, and when i was a teenager they were happy enough for me to cycle out to see friends in villages on the weekend and so on, but it's like it's something i should have grown out of. it's dangerous, it's reckless, they don't see the point. doesn't help that i can't drive...

partly it's just them becoming older and more fearful. they fret about stuff they would never have done when i was much much younger, before anyone owned a mobile phone etc.

it just sucks that even if i want to do something simple (whether riding or tweaking/cleaning etc) i have to be discreet about it and pretend it's just a functional thing. moving back home is a bit of headache in so many ways. just realised too - in the last couple of years they have both stopped cycling which they used to do on a regular basis, just into town and to the shops.
