Thursday Thoughts: The Wise Cyclist


~~//~~
This is a new feature.  “The Wise Cyclist” will appear at intervals.  This is simply a discussion of some of the broader aspects of the sport, as it relates to individuals.
~~//~~

Let’s start with some fundamentals.  What is a “Wise Cyclist”?  Perhaps we can determine some of the characteristics of this individual.

The wise cyclists knows:
Nothing is permanent, but many things are constant.
Consistency is not a part time occupation.
It is not possible to do anything all the time.
Each season has its appropriate actions.
There is a time to hold on, and a time to let go.
Preparation is everything.
There is no bad weather, only poor clothing choices.
Spontaneity is something too.
Let’s get serious!
But not too serious.
Childlike is good.  Childish?  Not so much.
Yes it is about the bike!
A bad day on the bike tops a great day at the office.
