We all want to be forgiven. There's a lot of really, really bad people who want to be forgiven but will never be forgiven, and I might be in that camp.

If we don't somehow stem the tide of childhood obesity, we're going to have a huge problem.

If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.

I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.

Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight.

There were something like 50 good, arduous climbs around Nice, solid inclines of ten miles or more. The trick was not to climb every once in awhile, but to climb repeatedly. I would do three different climbs in one day, over the course of a six- or seven-hour ride. A 12 mile climb took about an hour, so that tells you what my days were like.

Made plenty of mistakes along the way - all of which I am truly sorry.
