Adrenalin:-got on a huge bike that my old man had built, when he was trying to recreate his youth of time trialling (he had just bought a car too after cycling his whole life up to that point), this bike was shite, but it had one gear you kept pedalling and it went f.a.s.t. I was 14 years old when the problem started.
Since then there have been periods when I have managed to stay away from fixed,quieten the cravings,find solace in the simple joys of life. but, I find I always go back. Recently things have been made better by meeting other new addicts here, and I guess we can all share this simple message:-
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the gear ratio.
