    JM>   In my younger days (50s and early 60s) I sometimes rode 20 miles or   
    JM> so just to do it.  But eventually I would make more five minute rest   
    JM> stops than before.  Not to mention being saddle sore by the end of the   
    JM> ride.   
      
     The last few years living in the Miami, Florida area, I delivered my   
   afternoon newspaper route on a bicycle. When the family got transferred   
   to Little Rock, Arkansas, I used the money from the paper route to buy   
   a 10 speed bicycle. All the bikes I've had were Schwinn...when we first   
   moved here, about a mile from my place were 2 factories...the AMF Cycle   
   Division, and a plant for Timex. The buildings are still there, but AMF   
   and Timex are long gone, and other businesses are in them now.   
      
     When I bought a Timex watch in one of the department stores in the   
   Hialeah area, it noted "Little Rock, Arkansas". I thought "Whoa!! Big time   
   town!!". I never thought I'd be living here...going on 45 years now.   
      
    JM>   Our city buses have bike racks (fit two) which I use to ride wherever   
    JM> the bus stops closest to my destination.  Those really come in handy.   
      
     I think the same is true in central Arkansas with "Rock Region Metro"...   
   it was originally known as "Central Arkansas Transit". But, masks are   
   required on board, due to COVID-19.   
      
    JM>   Nope, we just did our job, with the usual grumbling amongst   
    JM> ourselves.   
      
     Sounds like what goes on in this echo now.    
      
     Hey, it's Monday...which is a horrible way to spend 1/7 of your week.
