Typically creative people are usually not clock-slaves or list-makers, so the idea of enforcing goals and deadlines can be somewhat daunting.

When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.

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 feel like I've done everything I can, and what I wanted to do.

Running is always an exercise in humility.

What I have learned about the sport of cycling is that you have to love it to do it because you're not going to retire off of it.

I think that with some education there are real possibilities at the high school and college level, but more so at the college level, to bring people into cycling.
