I can relate to parts of her story.
She ends with:
"Riding was the one way that I could remind myself that I did have a "can do" attitude and that I could indeed accomplish things.
For so long, I had told myself "you can't ride a bike," but I proved to myself that concept was wrong."
Every year, watching the Tour de France and seeing other people with their bikes. I always thought, I will never be a road cyclist.
If you asked me a year ago, do you think by next year you would be a road cyclist and commuting to work every day and road cycling 3-4 times a week (waking up at 5am)?
I would have said NO WAY, NEVER, ARE YOU CRAZY?
And I would have been wrong.
So now, every time I go to use the word "never" - like, "I will never do that", "I'm never doing that", I have to stop myself.
Because I could very well be wrong!
