I too, allowed the necessities of life to interfere with my living life. Strangely, in the last few months I have started hiking again, after a hiatus of some 15 years. This article has given my feet wings, as it were. Thank you. I remember some of those scars, and how you got them.I have a similar passion but for hiking instead of cycling.

I had a smile from ear to ear as I read it!! So many of us 40 something's can relate to feeling like a kid on the bike! I always like to say that with each pedal stroke forward, we gain so much life and energy. When you ride, I sure see the passion you have, and it is contagious!! Thank you for sharing your story!! And, I really love that poem, too!! Cheers to many more great rides!! Micki Love this Paolo!! I had a smile from ear to ear as I read it!!

This is exactly how I feel, though I do remember when I first started riding. And I really don't like hills or headwinds or chipseal, but realize they all make me stronger. However, it was the poem Dr. Seuess would have written if he rode a bike that got me. That brought tears to my eyes because I FEEL that way (except hills and wind unless it's a tailwind). I fell back into bikes later in life and I don't consider myself old nor do I think that it's silly to talk about bikes this way whether you are 10 or 90. Bikes keep us young and healthy!! Allez!
