BIKING TIPS
AND FACTS
"Throw away the excuses of 'I’m not ready yet' or 'I don’t have the right equipment'. Just put one foot in front of the other and challenge yourself to do it, just for yourself, and no one else. Where I am in life right now is pretty great. I’m back in school getting my masters, living more productively, growing a garden, hiking with my wife, biking with my kid, volunteering, stronger, healthier, happier... all of that started with a bike ride to work.”
