10 Things Bikers Know To Be True
Tarah Moleski

Biking is the best.


1. Biking is fucking awesome, and you're awesome for burning fat and not burning gas.

Heck yeah, you know it.

2. When you can bike without using your hands, it feels like you're flying.

At least, that's how I feel anyway...

3. Biking in the rain is mostly crappy but can be sort of fun.

If you have nowhere to be, and you can easily go home and dry off, that's what makes it doable. Oh also if you aren't riding in a storm.

4. It feels good to get in exercise daily.

If you bike to and from school or more-BAM there's some nice exercise for the day.

5. Biking is therapeutic.

Put in some headphones day or night, hit the road and you're outta sight. So nice.

6. Passing cars makes you feel cool.

You may or may not get to your destination faster than someone in a car, but when there's traffic it sure does make ya feel good.

7. You hate when the car in front of you doesn't use their blinker.

Everyone should just really use their blinker.... or hand signals.

8. When you pass by another biker, you get that inclusive nod, wave or smile.

Makes it all worth it.

9. It's really rad to use your body to propel yourself forward.

You are literally getting yourself from point A to B! How cool!

10. Night bike rides are the best, hands down.

If you haven't done this yet, this is something that's needed. I live in small, college town where the kids leave for breaks and that's the best time to do it. When no one else is out. With front and back lights too of course.


Thanks for reading!! Get on your bike and ride!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
