My passion for cycling first began on a weekend trip to the mountains 15 years ago. I knew how to ride a bike for years…decades actually…but this experience was different. On the first day, we rented bikes and decided to ride to a restaurant on top of a mountain. “You have to go there” the guy at the bike shop said, “It will be hard going up but worth it. And then you can cruise down when finished.” He was right. It was hard going up but what a feeling coming down. The next day we rode 12 miles to a neighboring town for lunch. I was hooked! Road cycling was in my blood.
     

I’ve traveled to different countries. Sometimes bringing my bike and other times renting one there. Each time I’ve met amazing people from all walks of life. All with their diverse backgrounds and incredible stories. Yet we all connected so easily through our common love of riding. 

The feelings I have while riding are priceless. The joy, the freedom, the pain, the rush, the doubts, the clarity, the euphoria. And when the ride ends, no matter how much I may have suffered, I think about the next ride. I’m always connected to my bike and the feeling of being on my bike, no matter what I’m doing throughout the day.

Cycling4Life was born from the idea of wanting to share my passion for cycling with the world off my bike. It wasn’t practical for me to wear my kit to lunch or dinner with my friends, to the grocery store, or to the office. So I created the clothes you see on this site. I hope you will find the same joy in wearing them as I do. That you will find it brings you one step closer to our passion…even after the ride ends.

Cycling is more than a sport. It’s our drive, our escape, our friends, our therapist, our passion, our fountain of youth, our oxygen…it’s our life.
