We have various abilities, present in all rational creatures as in the nature of rationality itself. And this is one of them. Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it-turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself-so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal. - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations I’m finding a pivot, new raw material. For a few years now I’ve had the desire to invest more time and effort into the bike. Now, unable to run, yet able to ride, I’m excited to dive in. In light of this new focus I’m coming to terms with the fact that the ole’ Surly might not be up for the task and considering a new bike. A gravel bike with the ability to add bags seems to be the way to go. What’s everyone else riding or think would be a good fit for me? I am excited to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Thanks and cheers to new moves. 📷: @paralyzedtopeaks
