That’s a big, deep, and frequently somewhat tedious question among philosophers. “What is the good?”
I would like to submit a modest attempt at an answer.
Riding is good. Training is good. Friends are good. Work, at something meaningful, is good.
Friends are good.
It’s good to be living in a society where we are allowed to protest, argue, disagree.
Each day brings the opportunity for some lesson.
Each ride is a chance to experience something new, and often something wonderful.
Bikes are good. Riding them is better.
Summer is good.
Sunny days are good.
Long cold night rides with friends are good.
Long climbs are good.
Long descents are really good.
A day in the deep woods is good. On a bike it’s really good.
A smooth running bike is good.
Skill is good, learning skill is good, and polishing skill is good.
Time to ride is good.
Riding to make time to ride is good.
Water is good.
A cold drink on a hot day is good indeed.
Good health is a very deep good.
Every weird thing that comes along offers a good, if only a good story.
Being open to good is good.
Smile and laugh… A lot!
Life is good.
