Like Arkansas and John E . . . I never left. Got into it good in '68 and been at it ever since.
Motives:
Excitement! It's a fun sport that is challenging, somewhat competitive (but not always) and fascinating on both physical and mechanical sides.
Identity: I define myself as A Cyclist, see the world through cyclist's eyes, and judge myself by the kind of cylist I have become.
Security: I've made my living in the bicycle industry for almost 50 years, and I love the commercial challenges and get on great with others in this industry.
