HOW TO BE A RIDER
LET ME EXPLAIN
Photograph byJONATHAN MEHRING( 1 ) Watching someone take it to the edge of disaster is far more inspiring than watching someone make it look effortless. ( 2 ) Suffering is the purest form of meditation. ( 3 ) As hard
as you can and do not stop! ( 4 ) It’s only fun when you’re fast. ( 5 ) If you took my legs away I’d still have a heart, but it wouldn’t have a purpose. ( 6 ) Value is stylish. Never a good look
to try too hard. ( 7 ) Riding in the morning feels like a chore. Riding in the evening feels like a reward.
