RIDING IS BELIEVING...

A few days ago I was looking back through the few entries I've posted here and to my surprise I really haven't done too much in the way cycling. Everyone has one thing (at a minimum) they're obsessed with. For some it's fashion. For some it's golf. For some it's the Twilight book series. For some it's a celebrity. For some it's a song. For some it's a destination. For some it's a food. For me, it's CYCLING. Based strictly on personal experience, it seems a lot of people don't quite understand my obsession. To me it's more than something I learned to do when I was a kid. It's more than something I'll never forget how to do and will always be able to pick back up, God willing. It's more than spending lots of money to look goofy while exercising. I've never been able to articulate cycling in a way that seems fulfilling or complete to me. I stumbled across a website while looking at new bikes a few months ago and it chronicles the first season of the Cervelo Test Team, a Swiss based pro cycling team. This is probably the best representation of what cycling is to me, and if nothing else these videos look at cycling for more of an artistic perspective than anywhere else that I've seen. Great images.Visually stimulating.Emotional. Fun.

If this doesn't help then maybe the best thing would be to go pick up a road bike and see for yourself, because RIDING IS BELIEVING.

Do yourself a favor and take a look.These videos are best viewed in HD so they take a little longer to load.
I apologize. I'll update this post as more videos surface.
