Cycling is not
just good exercise for me, it is therapy. I have struggled with depression on
and off in my life and I learnt early on that exercise was something small (but
crucial) that I could do to help heal myself and so I bought my first bike. I
struggled with it a lot and thought that it was just me who was unfit. That was
until I discovered that the fact that the bike was too small for me was more
significant that I had realized. So I sold my bike and bought another one. It
was as if I had exchanged a Mini for a Rolls Royce! I couldn't believe the
difference!
I had a special
bond with my Rolls Royce :)

| My Royals Royce |
About three
years later I left to go to the States I decided to give my Rolls Royce to my
sister. She and I have competed in some races together and she didn't have her
own bike; I thought that it would be something special for her. A few months
later, though, she relocated and her new home was burgled shortly after. Yes, they
stole the Rolls Royce. I felt very sad. It was so much more than just a bike
to me.
