    It&#39;s not just the Internet that&#39;s being ruined. I actually never answer my business telephone.

    I have always loved bike-riding. In high school I rode all over the county, and even won prizes in a couple of bike-a-thons. I didn&amp;#39;t ride much in college or grad school, but after getting a real job and starting a family, I got more serious about it. By the mid-2000s I was commuting to downtown #PDX on a recumbent bike, but my knees started hurting persistently. I had severe osteoarthritis in both knees, and the pain would eventually force me to give up cycling. Now, after two dec...
