Not to mention what the long term effect of road cycling is / can be on
your posture. I've been riding about 35 years, raced about 10 + and even by
age 28 (1986) had the bad posture and forward curved shoulders. I think
the years of being in the hunched over road cycling position has taken a
tool on my back. Having a desk job and putting in excessivly long hours for
25 years has not helped.




if you had only listened to your mother -- "straighten up, james, and stop
slouching like that. if you are so ashamed of your homo sapien lineage,
then just leave all your hand tools in the garage, and move. i'm sure you
can find a nice, cozy cave in uzbekistan with your neanderthal friends" --
you wouldn't have experienced back pains.
pursuing honest labor might not hurt, either. ;-))

[drop me a note; i'll be back in town tuesday. we can go for a bike
ride, or slink around the back alleys and tell war stories.]
