Biking

Let it be known that I love to ride my bicycle. This picture was taken on the way back from my relatively unplanned and definitely un-budgeted trip to Whistler, British Columbia this last August. I wish I had more pictures like this, of epic road trips to exotic places riding my bike. The truth is, I really wish I rode my bike more. I have concluded that there are three conclusive reasons for which I hardly ever ride my bike. I will list them now.

Reason #1:
Reason #2:

Reason #3:


Now, I have been thinking for quite some time now of what I could do to include more biking time in my life. I feel that all three of these things, school, work, and a girlfriend, are beneficial to my both short and long-term happiness, however, neither short nor long-term happiness can be achieved, in my opinion, without biking included. I would like to hear your suggestions as to what I might do to balance these three things and add a healthy amount of biking to the mix as well. I have yet to find a way, as school requires money, which requires me to work a hefty amount, which limits my time, which means the limited supply of free time I have is put towards quality time with my girlfriend. Basically, my conclusion has come to mostly one option: My girlfriend should ride bikes too.
