We either live with intention or exist by default.

I think it doesn't happen overnight, that's for sure. As the first gold medalist since 1984, I think cycling needs to ride that wave right now, because people are excited.

I don't think that the Olympic games are a good place to bring up any political issues because it should be about the athletes and about coming together. This year's motto was One World, One Dream and to take that away it's just not a good time.

In the midst of regular life, running is the touchstone that breathes adventure into my soul.

We can thank God for everything good, and all the rest we don't comprehend yet.

Cycling is not impactful. Its just like when you are injured, have a knee surgery or something, there are so many things that you can still do, you just have to find that other passion that's out there.

What I've learned over the last 6 or 7 years, I would love to teach people. I still have a lot to share with people and especially within the US.
