Gearhead?

Gearhead? ⚙️👤

Am I a gearhead; or merely a pretender? I love to ride; but I certainly don’t strike up conversations about bicycles and the sometimes odd gears with everyone I see.

I’m not a bicycle mechanic; and I have only rudimentary knowledge about how a bicycle works. So how can I be a gearhead?

Maybe I Am! 🙃

On the other hand, maybe I am a gearhead, after all. Folks who ride at least 26 times per year are considered “avid” cyclists. If 26 rides per year make you avid, I must be downright rabid! Or do those 26 rides per annum mean only big rides, such as races; long tours; and centuries?

I do at least some riding five or six days per week; and am working to extend my daily distances. I want to improve my pace, too; because no matter how much you love to ride, there are always other things that must be done.

Ergo I need to ride faster if I don’t want to be on the saddle all day, every day. Maybe I am a gearhead; but even gearheads must guard against burnout!

ABOUT ME

I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.

I live in New Orleans; and  retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
