Have you ever ridden Old Highway 50 between Winter Garden and Clermont? It’s a road that Jeff Kunerth once described as “depressing”, but I didn’t think it was when I rode it every day.
My alternative was New Highway 50, which was three lanes up the hills, two lanes at the top of the hills and [...]
I’m taking a short break from being a beach bum to bring you more great video from Dan & Brian:

Soon, I will share my observations and thoughts on Sanibel Island’s bike infrastructure. But for now, I’m just going to be obnoxious and post a photo of my bike.
