More People Should Apologize, And More People

I Have Always Struggled To Achieve Excellence. One Thing That Cycling Has Taught Me Is That If You Can Achieve Something Without A Struggle, It's Not Going To Be Satisfying.

Racing Is A Very Selfish, Self-centred, Self-glorifying Thing. My Wife's Life For 14 Years Was Centered Around Me. It Was All About Me. It Was All For My Ego.

There Are So Many People Who Have Died Of Cycling, And That Didn't Happen When I Was Racing.
