We know it’s all about the bike...

The bicycle saves my life every day.

If you’ve ever experienced a moment of awe or freedom on a bicycle;
    if you’ve ever taken flight from sadness to the rhythm of two spinning wheels, or felt the resurgence of hope pedaling to the top of a hill with the dew of effort on your forehead;

   if you’ve ever wondered, swooping bird-like down a long hill on a bicycle,
   if the world was standing still;
       if you have ever, just once, sat on a bicycle with a singing heart and felt like an ordinary human touching gods, 
    then we share something fundamental.

We know it’s all about the bike.
