I'm Liking This Bike Thing

So many metaphors, so little time:

• For every tough, slow uphill, there's a easy, fun, fast downhill.
• When the pedaling gets tough, find another gear.
• Uphill might be tough, but it's controllable and conquerable ... and even the easy, fun, fast downhill can be totally ruined by an unexpected rock or twig if you hit it just right.
• Don't forget to pick your eyes up from the front tire and see all the rest that's around you ... it can be breathtaking.
• Your legs might be a little wobbly and your butt might hurt at the end of the ride, but it was worth it.
