You know, riding can at time be hard, like uphill and against the wind. I've ridden race bikes with tubulars and all that, but they don't make riding any easier. No matter what my speed is at the given time, I can't go any faster than I'm already going. There's no outrunning, improving the present. It cannot be done. Set out to try and "do it my way"....."the song of hell/futility" .... hah hah .... and regardless of all the effort I'm right where I ever am, the present. There's no escape, nor is there anything to escape from. So what do I do ? I "give in" to what already is .... LIFE ..... and I enjoy the ride(NOW) to the fullest, there's nothing else like it and it's always unique. The bike is but a means to be outside rolling around. It's good to have a bike that fits well and like to ride, but there comes a point when the bike is forgotten and so is "me the bike rider"..... and in a sense I "Be the Ride Itself". It's like that when really engaged in something, all sense of the personal vanishes and BAM ! .... Life breaks out in wondrous orchestration of perfect movement and expression.
So tires ? Hah ! It's never about the tires, or the bike, or the thing ..... it's about ... L I F E ! That which is the Life of the tires, of the bike, of the Ride, and I that reads and the I that writes this.
