We are truly blessed in this area to have miles of bike trails that extend from Wisconsin down along the Fox River and Jonathan and I have lived along the Fox River for our entire married life, but you know how it is. Sometimes you don’t explore the beauty in your own back yard.
Well, I’ve decided to change that and spend time riding the path on my bike, and I’ve noticed some plusses and minuses. .
Plusses
Shade
Deer sightings
Foliage
Smooth – paved trails
The sound of birds
The glints of sunlight on the river
A charming coffee shop
The sense of community when I start to recognize people.
Friendly greetings or smiles.

Minuses
Grumps – this includes the lady who sports a jaunty scarf, who rides behind the friendly man, and scowls.
People who run or bike in groups and don’t move over
Bikers with flashing lights – we see you!
Dogs without leashes
People talking on their cell phones – can’t you disconnect for just a few minutes?
