Life Is Like A Bicycle Quote by Albert Einstein
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Albert Einstein
Taylor Phinney Quote
Cycling has nothing to do with the Tour de France. Racing a bike is a totally different sport than just being into cycling.
Cycling is this therapeutic, beautiful mode of transportation where you attach yourself to this machine, and it becomes part of you. Then you can go to all of these new places that you weren’t able to go before, and that has nothing to do with racing. I’m not a bike racer; I’m a bike rider. I love riding my bike, but I also love testing what I can do on my bike. So, in that regard, I am a racer. But if I had been born in Belgium and I had to race in Belgium all the time, I would’ve never gotten to the level that I am now, because the racing over there is so stressful. It just takes everything away from the niceness of being able to ride a bike.
