in a lapse of concentration i put the beard trimmer on the wrong setting
there was no alternative, it all had to go
genuinely terrifying
i now look like one of the creatures from The Descent movie, and not in a good way
here is a photo of me with my wife

well there you have it, the cycling year in review
not many long rides, pretty much all of them on my trusty Bombtrack gravel bike
it was more adventure than distance this year

!["Bicycle is the slow death of the planet."
A banker made the economists think this when [they] said:
“A cyclist is a disaster for the country’s economy: [they don't] buy cars and doesn’t borrow money to buy. [They] don't pay insurance policies. Don't buy fuel, don't pay to have the car serviced, and no repairs needed. [They don't] use paid parking. Doesn't cause any major accidents. No need for multi-lane highways.
[They are] not getting obese.
Healthy people are not necessary or useful to the economy. They are not buying the medicine. They don't go to hospitals or doctors.
They add nothing to the country's GDP.
"On the contrary, each new McDonald’s store creates at least 30 jobs—actually 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietitians and nutritionists—obviously as well as the people who work in the store itself."
Choose wisely: a bike or a McDonald's? It's something to think about.
