I signed in with warm showers quite some time ago. I think there was a small fee, $15 or something like that. After a while only one person contacted me for a place to stay. I am about 12 miles off the Atlantic coast route in Fort Lauderdale Florida. It just so happened I was leaving on a bicycling tour myself, the same day he wanted to come here. I would have driven out to his location on the island, put his bicycle in the rack on back of my car and brought him here. It was just that I was ready to go. He mentioned that of all the people he had contacted oh, I was one of the few who answered. I heard a rumor that there were people who were not actually on bicycling tours. They got around on bicycles in the cities and towns. They posed as tourists on long trips oh, and they went from host to host to host staying as long as they could get away with at each place. I have no idea whether or not that is true, but as they say, where there is smoke there is fire. Most likely some people have done that and are doing that. I closed my membership with warm showers. They still send emails. I read them. I think warmshowers is a very good idea. It is a good arrangement. However, I am somewhat taken aback by the idea that I should host hey person who would not do the same for me if the situation were reversed. Be all that as it may, should a cyclist on a long-distance to her contact me oh, I would welcome that person to stay here for a while. Two or three days or longer would not be unreasonable. I mean, I have bicycled about 35,000 miles through 20 countries. I have cycled across the continental United States at least five times and many many points in between. I understand the value of a nice place to kick back and relax and get good cooked meals and have a bed to sleep in. Here I have a swimming pool, a full gym, jacuzzi and sauna. There are also night clubs in the area with plenty of good looking women. I am a little too old to be chasing after all those good looking younger women, but most guys cycling across the u.s.a. would probably be interested in something like that. I support long-distance cycling tours. I think it's a great idea. In my opinion bicycling across the United States has to be the coolest most awesome outstanding thing a person can do.
