My bike and myself know that what counts in this life is not the miles we ride, the order of our finish, nor the prizes we win. We know that it is the ride that counts. WE WILL RIDE…

My bike is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its drivetrain and its brakes. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my bike clean and ready. We will become part of each other. WE WILL…
