Can you research the number of chromosomes a Bigfoot has?

Next time my cousin Johnny comes home from WV, I'll get a DNA sample. I'll let you know what we find.

Why have they never found any bones or fur or anything in all this time?

Cuz they EAT 'EM! Destroys the evidence and helps 'em GROW!

How tall is "very tall"? How badly do you want to ride? I'll bet it's possible to get a bike for your height. If you're only as tall as a tall-but-not-unusual male, you shouldn't have much trouble. If you're significantly taller than that, you'd likely need a custom bicycle. You'd have to want it. Decent bikes are pricey (to me), even without the challenge of having one specially made.

OTOH, bike riding is wonderful. There's just no way to describe it—you have to experience it on a beautiful trail, on a fine early spring morning. There's nothing like it. Incredible. It's excellent exercise, faster than walking, way better even than a sweet, silly Hallmark movie.

DS did 19 miles in a single day in a Burley trailer ... at nine months old. I did the Baltimore Tour de Port twice ... pregnant both times (I never rode it again, never brave enough for a third! My "pet" bike shop went under during Covid, so now I have to find another place to restring brake lines. DS doesn't have the right tool to go through the frame or we'd do it ourselves. I miss my rides!

Believe me if she really wanted to she would find a bike. It's not all that difficult. I mean she is the one that grew out chickens in her house. So yeah can't bullshit us anymore lol

I’m 5’ 11” (I actually might be like 5’ 10 3/4 now, I’m shrinking LOL ). Very long legs though haha

Bike riding does sound amazing though. SIL bikes a lot both mountain and road so I bet she could help me but you’re right, bikes are very expensive. I was looking last night just for curiosity sake and I had no idea. but I’m sure we have plenty that will work haha

I’m not sure yet if I want to ride on a road or trail. I feel like a trail would be scary and I do like hiking. But I don’t really like regular walking on the road so maybe I’ll do biking for that. Idk.

Get yourself a hybrid - you'll be able to handle the best of both worlds. And DO NOT buy someone's old bike that they've "had for years but I never ride it, so it's like new!" Go to a bike shop and let them evaluate what you need. A good one will even help you find a good used bike, if they can. Lots of people come in for upgrades and have bikes to sell. A good cyclist - like at a real bike shop, not like the sales reps at WalMart or other big box stores - wants to get you hooked on the hobby, so you'll come back for a better bike and fancy accessories later on. Like having a good mechanic on-hand, a bike shop is a relationship worth cultivating, especially once you start needing tune-ups and repairs.

The unicorns hide them.

DYING!

From the genetic research that I have seen, Sasquatch does not exist but Yeti does.

Personally, I'm convinced that Bigfoot critters migratory. That's why we can't find them; they're always moving. So a Sasquatch is just a Yeti in in summer camo.

When did I ever say it was hard to find a bike? I’m not bullshitting anybody. I wasn’t interested in biking until recently on this last trip so this is all still new. I haven’t even started looking yet. And I just got home today soooo... but yes, I’m sure it will be plenty easy to find one when I actually start looking for one, which I haven’t yet...

Also what’s wrong with growing chickens out in the house? Tons of people do that.

I've grown guineas out in the house. The very back bedroom closet.

It still wasn't far enough away.
