I think cycling has always had a tradition of being a bit dapper, especially back in the day.

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

I'm continuing to do research into biker culture.

I think there's a stereotype of what a biker is, and I think that's one of the reasons people are shocked when they find out that I ride. I've been trying to break down the stereotypes and inspire new riders.

My buddy David Wells is a big motorcycle guy, so when I go visit him in San Diego, he takes me out on his bike. He's got some antique Indians. I never really rode during my career, because I was afraid I'd fall off and ruin my career.

I symbolized doping... My phone rarely rings. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of riders who call me.

I am kind of like a diesel. It is the cyclist in me.

Cyclists need to obey the Highway Code, not run red lights, and not ride with iPods on, and motorists need to be more respectful and look out for cyclists.

My experience in Amsterdam is that cyclists ride where the hell they like and aim in a state of rage at all pedestrians while ringing their bell loudly, the concept of avoiding people being foreign to them.

I know a little bit about motorcycles and motorcycle riding.
