sga_saturday | Week 12: Cycle is open! (Reply)

This week's prompt was inspired by both

esteefee and her joy of bicycling and the motorcyclists who like to drive up and down my slightly hilly street, revving their engines. Thanks guys, it's awesome! But as much as I hope someone writes a story about Ronon riding a motorcycle across the country, this one can go about a million places. Surely someone else will do something related to Wagner's Ring Cycle? Yes yes yes? Check out the many definitions for more:
