I'd rather ride a bicycle.

I'm getting a feel for the best of the marathon runners. I'd have trouble keeping up with them on my bicycle. They'd probably beat me. Even if I had the advantage of doing the marathon on a bicycle. That's amazing. That a human being can run 26.2 miles in a little over two hours. I go about 10 miles an hour on my bicycle. Marathon runners go about 12 miles an hour. On foot. A mile in about 5 minutes. I used to think about running marathons. But thought better of it. I'm addicted to exercise. But not to marathons. Other than in thought. And on a bicycle. --Jim Broede
