Why Eric Rides

Eric: When I ride I feel free, light, and connected with the road.

Funny Motorcycle Incident

Eric: I was leading a group of friends on a ride, and we stopped to take a break. After the break, we got back on our bikes and I noticed that one of my friends was having problems starting their bike. I turned my bike off to go help. I stood up, dismounted, and attempted to walk over – but never put my kickstand down. As I was dismounting, my bike promptly fell to the ground. All I could do was laugh.

Lesson Learned + Blessing

Eric: The Lesson… slow down, and always be aware of what you’re about to do, before you do it. The Blessing… I didn’t get hurt, and I didn’t damage my bike.
