Cycling is the only sport with a multitude of elements: the environment, the individual, the team, the sprint, the climbs, the distance, the machine, the incomparable suffering, the rain, the sun, the snow. All these make it unique, great and something with which every person can identify on some level. - Michael Barry

Cycling for me is a very unique and addictive sport. It is very individual yet you have to rely so much on you teammates, I don't think you could say the same about any other sport. - Craig Lewis

Cycling creates the opportunity for self-sacrifice and reliance on others' racing puts one in a position where they are entirely vulnerable and yet supported by people who they trust implicitly - Mara Abbott
