Though I havn't really ridden with you I enjoy our trips together with your camera. I'm very glad you weren't hurt too badly in your accident. for not smoking and wearing a not-so-stylish helmet. Enjoy.

I'm glad you stopped smoking, the roads from your picture are very good, roads in good condition are a very large part of what makes a good ride. by the way, I'm right on your tail with six miles to go, just look right over your shoulder and you'll see me, "Gills"

Hey, I never owned a car either!! Never got a driver's license, though I am 46 years old.

I admire all the bicycling you have done in January in Vilnius.

History:

Started cycling regularly in 2004 at the age of 40. I think of myself as of a recreational cyclist. I basically ride around Lithuania, love seeing places. Prefer solo rides. Emphasis set on the time spent outside vs distance ridden.

I never owned a car although I still keep my drivers license which has already expired. I now bike-commute to work year round.

My bicycle is accomodated to carry a short wave radiostation so that I can enjoy my other hobby while riding - HAM radio.

Quit smoking after 25 years in 2005.
