Been rolling through the streets on two wheels since 2017. Not to brag, but in my cycling club (bike gang) they call me Bichael Jordan. I have not cycled competitively, but I've done the MS150 twice. So you can say I am pretty legit.
My bike club. Multiple Cyclosis, a biking team/club started way before I got into cycling. It has been the biggest pull bringing me closer to the sport. Over the course of training and practicing I've graduated from a newbie who rides in shoes, to clipping in to my pedals. The clips make cycling wildly more efficient, they also make falling down wildly more efficient as well.
The second biggest pull comes from riding in the MS150, which brings funds to research and awareness related to Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
