There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit.
I've had so many experiences in cycling, but in some ways I have nothing left to prove. I have achieved more than I could have dreamed of, I've raced a lot longer than I thought I would. I know I can still be better, but I just don't know if I love it enough any more.
Cycling was the sport of our family - we did it all the time, five days a week.
As a kid growing up - I can see now - it didn't matter what I did, as long as it was something I could be really good at. Cycling just happened to be the opportunity that came along.
I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.
Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way. It gives you a moment to breathe and think, and get away from what you're working on.
I came to the conclusion that I'm not going to give up cycling because some people are cheating.
Cycling is open to the whole world.
In cycling, you just race. When you get to the finish, you see the result.
Cycling as a whole is totally underestimated.
