Don’t sell out to fear

That’s what a friend in the U.K. just emailed me. He knows I’m struggling with the idea of life after marriage, worrying about money and all that.

Last week I interviewed at a magazine, and this week I have a juicy interview at a big bike company. There are good reasons to take one of these gigs, but I guess fear shouldn’t be one of them.

“Don’t sell out to fear.”

Ants in my pants!

Flat pedals on the big bike?

Hi Lee

I’m reluctant to give up the extra climbing power of clipless pedals for flats but it seems like all the freeriders use flat pedals so they can bail. What are you using on your freeride bike?

Thanks and happy new year
Kevin
