PedalTrout

I ride my bike because it is fun, keeps me young and in shape... and mostly sane.  It also keeps me in touch with so many cool, interesting and awesome people.
Through pedal power I have met many fantastic folks, I even found a wife on two wheels!
I have a theory that when the cranks are turned, the brain begins to pump out chemicals that make the rider even more awesome.  The more they pedal the better person they become.
Recently this was proven at Gore when a fellow rider was injured and about two dozen racers stopped mid race to call 911, perform first aid, make a new trail to get him to the ambulance faster, and carry him through the woods.  I'd like to see tennis players or golfers do that. 
Another prime example is a stolen bicycle that was lost five years ago and recently recovered through the comraderie of cycling, and social media.
It never ceases to amaze me at how quickly you can show up to a group ride,  not know a soul, and within minutes you feel like you have been friends for many years. 
I have never met a person on a bicyle that I didn't like instantly.  I may not always remember your name, (only because I suck at names) but I will always remember the ride and the great times we had.
Cyclists are all beautiul people.
Pedal, pedal, pedal!!!
