a new breed of cyclists
these are the cyclists that will ride just to "explore"
they do not race
they do not feel the need to go faster when they get passed by a fellow cyclist along the route
the only time they will give chase, follow or attack to lose a fellow cyclist is when they feel their personal space and isolation become violated
these are the cyclists that ride for the time to contemplate
to get their heart rates up and give themselves a natural high through exercise
these are the cyclists that feel they become more enlightened with every pedal stroke
these are the cyclists that go out there just to see what is out there
these are the cyclists that prefer to be on their bicycles to enjoy the scenery rather than use gas and pollute the environment in their automobiles
this breed of cyclist is rare.
also this breed of cyclist would never be caught dead in bibs
this cyclist is out there to enjoy life
he does not care about his average mph
he does not care for his ability to punish himself on the mountains
the only time he goes fast is when he wants to FEEL what its like to go fast, as he cuts through the air and feels the molecules brush up against his skin
this cyclist enjoys the ride
and he cares not for competition against fellow man
for he sees the world to be good enough and beautiful
this cyclist, whether it be he or she
is the ultimate zen master
