Verve
I blame Dickie Davis, and all those Saturday lunchtimes spent watching the Tour
de France on World of Sport, for my continued love of cycling. But it wasn’t until
the mid-90s that I really began to understand why riding is so important to me.
Back then I bought a US cycling magazine that came with a training planner. On
each page of this planner was a quote, including one from the then Vice President

2. of the USA. The gist of his quote was this: no matter how large the problem an
hour on my bike brings clarity and a solution. And it is true, riding bikes is good
for the body, mind and soul.
