My time unable to ride was marked by a bike sitting at the foot of my bed, 
objectifying my greatest want. Happy to have the other foot and leg for the 
pedals, but dreaming of being able to use it motivated me to suffer the 
hours of weighted stretching and other torment and torture to be able to 
ride again, get into the business, meet Bridgestone and Grant and upon my 
exit from the retail world, the Rivendell that is in my front hall now.  

As a company Riv found an ethos that is present in this forum, matching the 
passions of individuals who find such joy in cycling. Cycling to me is the 
reward balancing the damage, pain and loss that life is so full of and 
makes me find thanks and grace instead of grief and pessimism each day, 
dark frozen roads, filthy kit, and cold bits included.
