I am an ordinary person, who would presume to speak for ordinary people everywhere. I've ridden through every rough patch in my life. And I've come to the conclusion that there's nothing you can't figure out on the bike. Cycling is a transformational sport: physically; emotionally; and spiritually. It's nearly impossible to explain to someone who doesn't ride; but I'd like to try. I've learned more about myself from my bike than I have from any other activity. I've learned that I may not be able to make the best effort, but I can make my best effort. And, in exploring this idea, I have found much more meaning in my cycling. I believe that everyone could benefit from this philosophy.
