Thanks for posting that, Canice. Great article. I've actually seen it mentioned in a couple other places recently, but I hadn't realized it was available online.

"Suddenly, behind me, two guys half my age blast by me on heavy-duty mountain bikes. As they fly past, one of them looks over and hollers the rider’s rebel yell: “Hammmmerrrrrrr!!!” He flashes an ear-to-ear grin before they veer off to invade the north side of Trinity Bellwoods Park. We share the instant endorphin buzz, but their point is made: cycling is all about pure movement, propelled by something I’m still trying to get a grip on."

Holy crap.. that could totally have been me! Anyone here who's ridden with me knows how readily I yell that at complete strangers!
