It happens every ride.

Fifty kilometers in, I hit a wall.

No one is coming to help.

I got there myself and I need to get myself out.

Sure, Zeke is there riding with me.

People are responsible for themselves.

‘The system’ didn’t make their lives miserable.

The only one who can help you is you.

It’s better to get back in the saddle and go for a ride than to whine about who got you lost in the swamp.

Instead?

Get peddling.
