>>1864985>So why would you mention for free lmao.Because hookers just offer because it's their job. It doesn't give you the self esteem boost. The first girl was pretty young. She was the maid in a run down motel I was in. She came into the hot tub I was in after her shift, and after talking a bit she asked to come back to my room and spend the night. Obviously she was horny. The second one was my masseuse in Salt Lake City. As we were talking it changed from small talk to her getting really flirty. After I was dressed and leaving she got really touchy, told me she liked me, and asked if she could come to my room for the night. Hard to turn that down after 60 minutes of her massaging my butt and talking softly to me. I suppose she could be a hooker but it was a high class hotel, and she did not seem like the type at all.
>>1864986>How did you kept your gear safe during your trip? What did you do when going for grocery errands?If I was at a Walmart I would lock it outside. But most of the time errands were in small places like dollar general, or a restaurant. I would just leave it outside, but take my handlebar bag with all my valuables. 99% of the trip was in small town white America, which is the least threatening locale I can imagine. Also, it's a 62 cm bike that weighs over 100 pounds. Most people would have trouble stealing it. Also, I figured most people don't really understand panniers, and wouldn't think about trying to take them. Most cross country people I met also mostly just left their bikes unlocked. It never felt like a big worry.
>How is the whole dynamic of having a bike with you 24/7?It's really easy and I got used to it fast. Most daylight hours were spent either riding or camping right next to the bike. I did several warmshowers, and always just left my bike at their homes. I guess the first few days it was weird having the bike around all the time, but it quickly just felt like my second skin. It felt more strange walking than it did riding.
