👋🏼 it’s me. I am not the problem. And neither are you. This is a human being. Just a living, breathing, human being with a beating heart and a soul. A cyclist is a human being. That doesn't change when I put on lycra and a helmet. It seems it is easy for vehicles to forget that human aspect of cyclists when we hop on a bike. We don't change just because our mode of transportation did. There seems to be a disconnect from when we are meandering aisles at a grocery store, going to church, presenting at a meeting, picking up our children at school, to when we become a "cyclist". Suddenly, human life can be disregarded and compartmentalized as an inconvenience. Negligence and distraction seems easier than acknowledge a human life. What might save you two seconds, could end someone's life. I take advocating for our sport very seriously as do all of you. This sport is my world. I want to be the best human I can on and off the bike. There has been a lot of tragic news in our cycling community lately and it will be something that we will be facing for quite some time but we will continue to work to fight for change. It’s just a really long ride, but it will be better together. But know you are beautifully and wonderfully made. So let’s all look out for each other regardless of we are riding or driving or whatever else. Let’s take care of each other. I will stand up for you on and off the bike.

And a big thank you and hugs to all of my partners and bike family that give me courage to be this human being 👸🏼 on a bike. 😘 Cheers to many more years being a human on a bike.

Looking for advocacy / project ideas 💡 too!

Also. I love how @LizKreutz captures 📸 all my human crazy whether I am riding or have my boots on the table at @wedusport. She is a 👯‍♀️ genius human and I am so grateful for her and the team.

If a wheelset fits your riding profile or purpose like this one might, no need to shell out for the best performing one.

Giannis didn't like @eric_nehm's question about whether the season was a failure and went long in his answer

@BenjiNaesen @TheBreakawayApp @GoZwift Benji, love your podcast and appreciate that you have Zwift sponsorship but trying to improve your fitness off the couch by going straight into racing, let alone racing back-to-back days is the exact opposite of how to get into shape and stick w/Zwift as a long-time subscriber
