You don't suffer, kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.

You don't suffer, kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.

I love downtown Seattle. It's a city that has all of the outdoor activities and is still a very cosmopolitan city.

Perhaps the single most important element in mastering the techniques and tactics of racing is experience. But once you have the fundamentals, acquiring the experience is a matter of time.

Seattle is very similar to Minneapolis. I like the culture; I like the people. I raced a bike and won a national championship on Lake Washington in 1977, so I've had a connection there for a long time.

I love to take risks and see how I cope with the situation.
