I just watched an amazing yet simple video on YouTube called the Tour de France in 233 Seconds. It reminded me of this year’s Giro, where I got to watch one stage live (which Pogačar won) with my girlfriend. We had a blast.

What I love about cycling—beyond the professional sport or amateur road cycling—is the freedom and pure enjoyment a bike gives you while riding.

Just yesterday, I attached a flashlight to my bike and did a quick loop around my hometown with one of my best friends and his girlfriend. It was spontaneous, simple, and so much fun.

More people should ride bikes—whether for commuting, training, or just taking a lap around town.
