Meanwhile, during a shopping stop in a two-day back-country ride:

“Let's wait for Pus finishing their ice cream.”

Me, with a baseball cap, sunglasses, jeans and a hoodie, headphones on the head, cigarette in the mouth and ice cream in one hand, handlebar in the other:

“What? No need to wait, I'll follow yall.”

You smoke cigarettes and go on 2 day long bicycle rides for fun? That's like being a vegan who will eat meat but only if the animal died in some truly awful way.

Some people just really enjoy bicycling. Now don't get me wrong, I agree this is insane, a cig kills my ability to bike much. But I totally get not caring about your health and just happening to have a hobby you love be exercise

I tell you hwhat. The meat industry is awful but roadkill... that there's good eatin.

This was me when I smoked.

I'm not sure of its the eight years since my last cigarette giving me superpowers or if I'm just eight years older and my body cries at each minor inconvenience but I think I was healthier when I was downing a pack a day of menthols.

Fuck I miss smoking.

Good news!

Þere will come a time when, statistically, if you started smoking again you would be almost guaranteed to die of someþing oþer þan lung cancer. In oþer words, you can start smoking again when you're 60!

I'm counting þe days...

I've quit three years after that adventure, but it turned out that regular bike rides contributed much more to my health than smoking took away. So I rather miss cycling now.
