In the early 1990's I dated and briefly lived with a girl who always smoked when she used her exercycle. After briefly using the bathroom when she woke up in the morning she would get on her stationary bicycle, light up a cigarette and begin pedaling.
Each morning she would chain smoke three cigarettes while riding her bike, occasionally coughing to clear the flem from her throat and lungs. She claimed she started this exercise routine when she was 13 years old and when we were together she was 22.
Anyway, her exboyfriend moved back to town and I got dumped pretty quickly (he was her true love and while I was pissed off at the time, I understood. He also had a career while just had a job).
A year later she left town, married him and had his daughter. I haven't heard from her since 1998.
I know this reply has nothing to do with what you originally wrote, but when I read your post I immediately thought of her. I guess I still miss her even though she has moved on.
Thank you for the memory.
