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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The physical demands of cycling is that it actually lowers your immune system, and you expose yourself to a tremendous amount of elements - so certain people might get a chronic overload and develop, say, bad asthma.
Cycling is a part of my life; it always has been, and I will always continue to cycle. I won't be doing it on the world stage, doing it competitively, but I'll still be out on the weekend with the masses riding around Richmond Park in my Team Sky jersey or whatever. I just love it.
Cycling is based so much on form, on aesthetics, on class - the way you carry yourself on the bike, the sort of technique you have.
I know the freedom that cycling gives you in terms of being able to just jump on and go.
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 has never felt like a job. To get paid for something that you absolutely love is amazing. I don't feel like I work. I just do it because I love it and I get paid to do it. I just think: 'What an easy way to earn a living.'
Cycling is open to the whole world.
I have the impression that cycling is no longer a game but rather an employment... a job.
Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.
