A SINGLE BIKE RIDE IS WORTH A THOUSAND BRUNCHES
Bicycling US
|Fall 2025
You learn a lot about your friends when you share a bed and chamois cream.
A HARD DAY ON THE BIKE HAS AN UNCANNY WAY OF SHOWCASING YOUR BEST AND WORST TRAITS.
Over and over and over. You're simply too exposed to hide behind any of it. Your friends can either love you for it or tolerate you—or, at worst, quietly start doing different rides without you that you only discover later on Strava. But that's showbiz, baby.
I've always said a single bike ride is worth a thousand brunches. You can talk fluff for an hour on a Sunday over pancakes, but a rowdy bike ride will reveal your soul to your friends, whether or not you're even talking. Are you generous with a pull? Do you have a good attitude riding through a cow-hoof-pocked pasture? Are you patient while your friend fixes that flat? Do you crumble halfway up that last remote climb, or do you spin it into physical comedy about how silly the whole situation is? Like, stuck on the back side of a mountain, no water—ha!

THE STEEL BIKE THAT REDEFINED HOW I RIDE
OVER THE PAST few years, I've grown increasingly disenchanted with the chase of new bikes. I've been riding predominantly carbon mountain bikes for a decade, but they have started to feel a bit replaceable. I suppose that's the nature of plastic bikes: They're engineering marvels for a few years until the lighter, stiffer version drops. I found myself wanting something with a little more staying power.

IN MY 10-PLUS years of working as a personal trainer, new clients have often come to me with fitness goals that include “losing weight.” During their intake session, I push them to articulate specifically what that means to them.
