Hi! You are still eligible for prizes if you don't have a workplace as long as you are in an area with a subscription for Love to Ride. Local governments can sign up for Love to Ride, which would mean all residents in the area can take part. Hopefully you can ride in our challenges again. And, if not, I hope that you still enjoy using Love to Ride for your ride tracking and goals. 😊

Excellent to read - so pleased you enjoy it so much. A daily cycle will certainly give many rewards, but I especially resonate with your acknowledgment of the risk of being on the road and the need for us to take responsibility to be seen. I equally am astounded when I see cyclists in dark/dull clothing - talk about camouflaged with the road! Great pic too!

I'd like more people to realize you can do many more things with your bike. For instance I can haul more with my bike than most people can haul in their car -- a lot more! Recently Silicon Valley B... read more

I have two recumbent trikes now, one e-trike and one 'acoustic' trike. They are very different, but each allows me to go many places in town. My orthopedist was enthusiatic about the trike over any other exercise except swimming, and since I don't swim much, this is the best option. I like the way you can see more, on a trike- you can look at the sky, see the wildlife, etc.
