We kids played chase, performed stunts, and rode thousands of miles within our neighborhood. With little money, I was able to travel all over Alabama and even to Northern Ontario. A fter I returned to cycling at forty. I noticed that I was drooling a little while cycling. Part was due to having just quit smoking, but part was due to that little boy inside of me really enjoying himself.
Cycling is an opportunity to know a different world.
Cycling is healthy. I n the middle of a hundred-mile ride, I was climbing a mountain when I noticed steps had been cut into a giant boulder to make a lookout. Just as I pulled off the road, a car stopped, and the occupants painfully pulled themselves out of their seats and looked at those steps. At that moment, I had reached the base of the rock. I leaned my bike against it and ran to the top.
