		<description>Good Morning Jo,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the one of the main reasons we are on planet Earth is to &lt;br /&gt;experience God&#039;s joy which of course can be different for each person.  &lt;br /&gt;I enjoy riding my bike, it&#039;s only 7 blocks.  The fact that I am 66 and &lt;br /&gt;can ride a bike on snow and ice and not fall over gives me joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a friend who has climb all seven of the tallest mountains in the &lt;br /&gt;world and he is in his 70&#039;s.  He does it for the joy and personal &lt;br /&gt;satisfaction of doing it.  Now, that does not interest me at all, but &lt;br /&gt;riding a bike does. Different folks, different joys, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do take a spinning class on Monday at the Y and that gives me joy, &lt;br /&gt;plus a darn good workout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day last year, I rode my bike for 11 and 1/2 hours straight just to &lt;br /&gt;win a contest.  Even in the midst of pain one can experience joy. I do &lt;br /&gt;not enjoy pain, but I do enjoy working out hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of people who ride their bikes in the snow, you can buy &lt;br /&gt;bike tires with metal stubs in them for traction.  It is just another &lt;br /&gt;way of entertaining ourselves. What makes sense, you know, like joy, is &lt;br /&gt;different for many people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, I enjoyed making the video.  I taught myself how to do that..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care and thanks for your comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duane</description>

		<description>Why would you ride your bike to the YMCA in snow?  Wouldn&#039;t it make more sense to just drive up there and then ride a stationary bike????</description>
