我在少年时代就找到了自行车上苦行与快乐的平衡。一路上尽力向生理和心理的极限冲刺， 到家后我的感觉真是心旷神怡、无言形容。 要领会崇高意境，就得有一个苦与乐的折衷： 在自行车上， 在大自然母亲的怀抱中， 飘飘然然，进入仙境。
In my teens, I found the point where suffering on the bike became pleasure. Pushing myself to physical and mental extremes I arrived home elated. To find the sublime there is a balance where elements of pain and passion become equal: on a bike, pedalling in the environment, a human being can find divinity.
