Hiker-Biker-Runner vs. Walker-Sitter-Dozer: Two Brains, Two Inner Cultures

In my July 5 reply to a comment from Altadenahiker, I quipped (brilliantly), “Maybe your Hiker-mind has some reckless Biker-mind built into it. . . . . the topic of Bikers, Hikers, and Runners compared to Walkers, Amblers, and Sitters might be interesting.”

Now I’ve started to wonder if anyone else gives a somewhat serious hoot about the topic. I think we should, because it involves important aspects of love relationships and friendships.

What do you think about the following?

Hiker-Bikers are manic, unimaginative, muscled escapees outrunning their demons.

The Sit-Butt-Strollers are fossilizing, depressive visionaries, who are deaf to the ticking clock and chances dripping away.

There is no third or fourth type, only gradations within these two.

How do the two get along with each other?
