The Adventurer’s Call
“There is neither bad nor good but thinking makes it so,” is a timely Shakespearean quote to the interesting times we live in. We can choose to view times as bad and attempt to withdraw from the world. Or we can recognize the potential, the good out there, and take up the adventurer’s call.
Adventuring is this edition’s theme. Adventuring out one’s front door to explore the neighborhoods and history around us is one way to do this, as we learn from speaking with Peter Curley. Adventuring by testing one’s limits against professional gravelleurs is another, as Zach Morvant provides us with a race report from the Huffmaster Hopper. Adventures in nonprofit: Spokeland’s efforts to expand biking opportunities to be an adventuring force multiplier are explained to us by Binky Brown. Kyle Smith gives us information about video options for recording rides — to keep drivers honest as well as memorializing adventures. And the adventures in Northern California’s hinterlands provided by the Grasshopper series are explained to us by Miguel Crawford and Bicycle Law’s Messenger of Bike, James Grady.
Wherever your adventures take you, we expect them to be good — because your thinking will make them so.
Hoping you keep the rubber side down,
Everyone at Bicycle Law
