I admire many people for many things. I especially love people that live life with a sense of passion and confidence. I don’t like to idolize anyone though, and it makes me uncomfortable when people place me on a pedestal as one of the world’s great cyclists, which sounds silly but it does happen. After all, idols are meant to be broken and I think we can all have our moment on the pedestal in the sun. However, I do think I have an important story to tell because we are all on a journey through life. I hope that people learn from my experience (and mistakes) and use that to jumpstart their own life.
