Sometimes It's not about carbon or steel,
It's not about Strava or beating your PB on the commute home,
It's not about the nodders and the flouro's and the bad drivers, or the bad cyclists,
Sometimes it's not about fixed or geared,
It's not about speed or distance or hills or gear ratios,
It's not about training or climbing or sprinting,
Sometimes it's just about getting on the bike and letting it take you somewhere,
Finding the quiet backstreets, the places you've never been before, the unexpected stretch of perfect new Tarmac,
Sometimes it's about just finding your rhythm and going with the flow,
Sometimes it's just about being on a bike, and just being.
