  • In parts of California you are allowed to ride on the freeway shoulder. AFAIK it’s only legal when there is no reasonable alternative.

    I’ve done it a few times — it’s not ideal, but it’s not horrible, mostly because you don’t cross on/off ramps (it’s just from one exit to the next). In my case I did it because the multi-use path I was planning on using was temporarily closed.

    I have been on a different ride where I crossed on/off ramps (I should have taken a different route!), and that really sucked.
















  • I mean, vigorous physical exercise is one of the most mentally relaxing activities, in a way (at least for me). Go for a 100km bike ride in hilly terrain, push yourself on the climbs, and just kind of let your mind wander. It’s not edible-and-David-Attenborough relaxing, but it is relaxing in its own way.
