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 was some expiration point to my life, and it became very important to maximize the time that I did have on Earth. That's what led me to my personal philosophy: "No Opportunity Wasted" - NOW for short, which is about living life to the fullest.

I'm driven by telling stories, I love telling stories.
