Is God having fun watching us suffer?

The desire to not suffer is one reason that man has improved his
situation.. Of course there are always individuals that prefer to sit
and watch others make the improvements and then whimper and whine
about their suffering... we call those individuals "leftists."

Still others watch the Progress of other nations, old and new alike,
such as Holland or Taiwan, and wonder why we are still suffering that
much in America...

Suffering to ride a bicycle or scooter, or suffering to access
healthcare.

These are neither left or right, just WISE PEOPLE.

I'm not suffering at all. Life is good.

My healthcare is just fine... and I only ride the bike for my own
enjoyment, so even the muscle soreness after an 75 mile ride couldn't
be described as suffering.

"Life stinks!" Just saw the movie last night. This billionaire
transforms into a hobo on a bet and is forced to admit life stinks for
the poor and also learns some humanity in the process.

So it depends what your income is... unless you are eccentric
penniless like me.

Try that here and you will be harassed by the drivers until you give
up. No room, you know.

But you must live in such a lucky place in the boondock$.

Enjoy the sketch!

Hell no. I don't ride on the streets.. The Catrike is too wide and
too low to do that safely.

This part of Florida abounds in dedicated paved bike trails with new
ones being added all the time.

Oh, I love those. The fact that are you seen may not make a difference
among some Florida drivers though.

I'd have around a mile of path to ride such vehicle, so the slow old-
people trike would be comfortable and still give you "plenty of
speed."

Orlando is getting better. Here there's a lot of talk of a bicycle
program like Paris but no action so far.

Indeed, and in that case, the Catrike is just a bigger target.

I cruise between 14 nd 18 MPH and can get her up over 22 MPH for a
couple of miles... not too bad for a one legged man.

I have the Pinellis trail (34 miles) and the Suncoast trail (42 miles)
just a few miles away, and the Withlacoochie trail about an hour's
drive away. There's a few more here and there and the Suncoast is
going to hook up with the North Tampa trail to make it even longer..

Penniless???? Well then, the next house that you break into, don't leave
behind the big pickle jar of pennies.

Oh sorry, I thought they were pedal bikes. Maybe some are.

I don't have a place to put them and my last trike rusted out.

My revolution will be put on hold when I find plenty of trails to
ride. Definitely will check those out.
