Okay. It’s true. I am no authority on cycling. I am simply a new guy, a rookie, a beginner. I started this blog with big dreams and high hopes – but really it is me ranting.
I have been cycling for nearly a year. I fell in love with it, and I don’t know how or why.
There has to be something more to cycling. I cannot seem to pinpoint it though – and i am not sure anyone who loves it can.
People who cycle seem to spend money as if its only currency is to gain more gear.
I started cycling to loose weight. I started at 124kg and am currently at 110kg – and it is because of a wierd love of asport i knew nothing of. I wanted to loose weight so i could run without shin splints – but now want to loose weight to climb better.
There must be something to this. Something more than a lycra fashion statement. Something more than watching Cadel win the tour. Something more than getting to school… I am finding that something very hard to define. And even harder to find.
This blog is in part an experiment as to what drives this undefined something. It is in part a way for me to wave a flag on the internet. It is really just bits and parts of what is going on in me… What blog isn’t hey?
So, sorry if I made myself to be a bike-know-it-all. I am a rookie, and now I am proud of it. Well, I did call my website wheel-sucker – now you know why.
