Despite each of us being a flawless original, we still all share similar experiences. And we don’t mean just the events of birth and death. Which of the examples below sounds familiar?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Signing up to Strava \u2013 because all of your cycling attempts before joining has not been virtual, which means they actually hadn’t existed.<\/p>\n

2. Trying the clip pedals for the first time \u2013 just to bail unclipped a little bit later.<\/p>\n

3. Buying a new bike \u2013 because milestones should be repeated every year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Thinking about a gravel bike \u2013 because everybody does.<\/p>\n

5. First road rash \u2013 you can prevent it for a while but it will catch up with you anyway.<\/p>\n

6. The first bicycle ride of your kid, no matter if a boy or a girl \u2013 at your age, it has a much stronger memory appeal than your first sex (which was probably a century ago).<\/p>\n

7. Bonking for the first time \u2013 an unpleasant experience that other endurance sportspeople call hypoglycemia (so now you know glucose would help).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u00a9 Profimedia, Stock Budget<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

8. Inviting your dog for a ride \u2013 if you have one.<\/p>\n

9. Suffering the first family holiday without a bike.<\/p>\n

10. Justifying cycling run against a moron that wants bikes off the road.<\/p>\n

11. First 100 k \u2013 after this, any imaginable goal doesn’t seem to be far enough to be reached.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

12. First 10 000 k in one year \u2013 well, this is another story, not every keen cyclist can do that only to say it was not that bad.<\/p>\n

13. Taking part in the first race \u2013 just to find out how horribly difficult but also insignificant it is compared to the Tour de France.<\/p>\n

14. Experiencing the first bike theft \u2013 yes, this happens to every cyclist, no matter if in NY or Moscow.<\/p>\n

15. Finding there are no more mates riding but you.<\/p>\n

16. Passing away without anyone interested in the bikes you left behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
