Riding local, riding abroad. Doesn't matter. "One less car" bike commuting and "Bikes Belong" advocacy, plus "I ride solo" bicycle travel. Racing is fun, but there are so many equally great reasons to ride.

Sunday bike riding in Tongling you never can tell...
I went riding on a cold day of filtered sun, not expecting to see anything new. Yeah, right. This is China. I found a brand new tunnel through the hills leading back into downtown. No cars driving wrong way up the divided bike lane. No unlit mopeds on the wrong side of the road. Wow. What country is this? Must be a soft opening. Once the locals discover the tunnel is open, it'll become the crazy free for all of cars, trucks, busses, three wheelers, mopeds, and guys pulling wooden carts loaded with pig carcasses, heat storing bricks or a mountain of recycled cardboard that defines roads everywhere else in China. But not today. Today this is neat and law abiding Germany.
