LIFE'S A BEAUTIFUL PUZZLE THAT COMES in all sorts of shapes, colors, and sizes.

BIKES MAKE THE WORLD A MORE INCLUSIVE PLACE

The same can be said about cycling and people who enjoy riding all sorts of unique bikes. The act can be healing and connecting, bonding you to a view, a community, or even a way of life. It's my firm belief that bike accessibility is an opportunity to explore creativity and strength and to create impacts in the lives of not only the riders but also those around them. Everyone belongs, is worthy, and has a purpose.

While a ride has a beginning and end, life's day-to-day roller coaster is nonstop. The unique challenges we all face, whether it's balancing a job, family, a medical condition, or just the monotony of every day, can be overwhelming.

When was the last time cycling created an awareness or impact in an underrepresented group in your community? Here is one of those rare stories-one that's personal for me-in which life and riding come colliding in ways that leave me in tears.

THE CASE AGAINST STRAVA

I'LL BEGIN BY SINGING SOME PRAISES: Without Strava, I'm not sure I'd have re-engaged with cycling at the level I did. Coming from just occasionally messing around on mountain bikes as a teenager to trying my best to race at an elite level, Strava has played a role in pushing me to PR, hunt KOMS, and ride faster and harder than ever before.

THE UPSIDE OF GETTING YOUR CAR STOLEN

AFTER I PARKED AT THE LAFAYETTE COLLEGE track for my workout, I did what I always do: I put my phone and wallet in the center console of my car and took the car key off the ring so I could fit it into the tiny pocket inside my running shorts.
