Riding a bicycle is about getting back to basics. It's good for the waistline and it's good for the wallet, is what I'm saying.

There's a sameness and comfort level you get living in a country like America.

People ask me what the most important thing to take on the race is, and I always say it's a sense of humor. If you've got nothing but a sense of humor, you will survive.

With any good story, you need the adversary, the heroes and villains. You need a good mixture to make it work.
