Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I have ridden bicycles most of my life - paper routes as a child, commuting 27 years, and touring. My bikes of choice have been cross bikes for the last couple decades. They took the abuse of commuting well, and were fast enough for touring. In my 20s-30s heyday I road up to 14k+ miles/year. Now it is more like 3-4k.
Riding to work was always fun, since it was very early morning (leaving home at 4-6am).
Touring is great. Careful planning led to many almost empty roads or wide shoulders. Highlights were 1 x-country, 3 LosAngeles-Denver, PortlandOR-LosAngeles. Most rides were solo, although the x-country was with a friend.
