Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.

The solo break or the small break, it's... one of the most glorious ways to win a bike race. It's pretty damn impressive in my mind.

A lot of the biking sequences in the beginning, like going down the steps and over the ramp, I of course didn't do any of that stuff. I wish I could have but I didn't.

You don't suffer, kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.

There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.

I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.

Taking my bike out and riding the bike path along Lake Shore Drive, that's one of the great experiences in my life. And I hope to do it as long as I can.

I'm happy that the sacrificing, the hard training, the travel, the time being away from the family, is going to stop. So I'm happy; I'm glad about that. But I'm also terrified. Frightened. Because, I mean, in my whole adult life, cycling was the most consistent thing I ever did.

All in all, it's been a wonderful, wonderful ride. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

A lot of fun stuff happens when you go out on a bike compared to when you're in a car. You're more in the environment. It's enjoyable. Even when It's raining It's still fun.
