steve: Patience is essential and haste throws much out the door when riding.

orin: It is amazing the faith that some riders (and drivers) have in the perfect unfolding of behavior on the road. Without it how could they possibly hurtle along at the speeds they do….

irondad: You contribute a lot to the riding community both online and in real life. I just want to make sure as many as possible can take advantage of it.

I hope you like the book. It unfolds slowly and quietly and despite the focus on art and writing it is applicable to a passionate approach to riding as well. (At least I think so)

Roadbum: How a ride is ridden is an unexpected focus for me. I sort of figured I would learn and then like walking never think of the process again. But riding isn’t walking and is a far more complex process more akin to climbing than to walking down a sidewalk or path.

And that process includes life long learning. And it is fun.

I guess I am in a pretty good mood this morning!

That video is intense, especially to a trainer.

I found “Letters to a Young Poet” today at Borders Books. Having purchased it, I’m going to read it. Have to find out more about what makes you tick!

My reaction to the guy/gal on the crotch rocket who blasts between vehicles at twice the speed of traffic is not so much anger as, “dude, you sure have a lot more faith in your fellow road users than I do.”
