Here’s the thing: There’s talking about cycling, and there’s cycling. They each have a role: Talking about cycling is how we share knowledge and build a culture and an industry to serve it, and grow knowledge over the generations. But it’s still not cycling. For that you have to throw a leg over the top tube and go out and suffer, and fall, and get up, and bend a bent hanger back to fix it after the fall. And ride, and ride, and ride. And wear a shit-eating grin so hard that your face hurts, but you can’t stop grinning in the wind, because riding feels so damn good. If you ride, that’s all I need to know. See you on a trail someday, maybe.
