From the craving I have for my next ride to the latest insight I have from reading and reflecting on one's self. It is mostly about the bike, riding a bike & connecting with others who ride.

Riding - the numbers Game
Whether you are a weekend warrior, club racer or commuter on a bike, you know that doing what we love - riding a bike - is a numbers game. Sure you can do things to reduce risk, and certainly a crash on the bike will help you reassess some of the risks we take. But as one riding mate said to me "take anything else from me, but please don't take this!" Many of my mates would give up fame, fortune, and change 10 nappies a day...but struggle to be off the bike for even a day. I am deeply sorry for the loss of Wouter Weylandt's team mates and family. This touches all of us who love the bike and have some appreciation of the risks these guys face to show off a sport that we love at the highest level.
