Fly wheels and rear cassettes.

I love the “hum” of rubber, 700×23, tires as they tear through countless miles of pavement.

I love the “click-click” of the fly wheel as someone stops their cadence to catch a breath.

I love the “thunk” of the rear derailleur downshifting when someone jumps on the sprint.

But, this isn’t really about that.

I love looking over my shoulder, knowing the guy behind me has cracked.

I love the burn caused by muscles screamin for oxygen as you climb, climb, climb.

But, this isn’t really about that.

He makes everything glorious.
