Why Race Your Bike?

The answer, finally and finely articulated. Unfortunately, I didn't write it:




Bike racing solves many challenges: it gives purpose to physical activity; it abolishes boredom and inspires confidence since every race becomes a tactical puzzle that brings success when solved; even a short race drains the mind of everything else except racing; and racing breeds camaraderie because, to a compassionate racer, the line between friends and rivals becomes indistinguishably blurred since in reality, racing convenes a bunch of like-minded people who have a funny way of getting the best out of each other, both on and off the bike.
