"There's no one right way to ride a bike."

That was my most favorite line in the whole, excellent film.

One of my favorite parts of the film, too. I watched it last night.

Gave me a good boost of confidence as I stare down my first big cycle tour (am riding with two ladies who are NOT Athenas so I have to be able to hang!)
