when i was younger (though still older than i'd like to admit) i had an imaginary friend who was always on a bicycle, and i would only see him when my family was on long car trips. he would be riding along outside the car on his bike doing tricks and stuff to keep me amused. sometimes when we stopped at rest stops he would come close enough for me to talk to for a while, but he wouldn't come and stay with us in the hotels. i always felt kind of bad for him, because that seemed like a really long way to have to ride a bike. i guess he was in really good shape.
