Ah, Huffy.
I don't even know if you can get those anymore.
I grew up Mennonite, which is really conservative, family-based.
It's its own little community like the Amish.
Professional sports to them is just frivolous.
It's not something that they would ever have encouraged me to get into before.
I was a teenager in the mid to late 90s.
Mountain biking was a new fad, so I got a mountain bike, and I was so proud of that thing.
And as a kid, it was a way to get around.
For me, it was an escape to try to just go think about life and be alone out in nature.
It was good for me when it was clear that I was a little more obsessed with riding my bike than they would otherwise have wanted.
I wouldn't say they tried to get in the way of it, but they just wanted to make sure that that wasn't my focus in life.
Would they drive you to races and things like that?
They did sometimes as much as they tried to encourage me not to make that the single thing that I was focused in on life, which is my personality.
But they were always supportive in the sense that they came to see what I was doing and wanted to just try to understand it.
I would conflate the luck and the talent part together.
I was talented and lucky to be talented at riding a bicycle.
Were you good at other sports?
Not as much because to be good at cycling, it helps to be a smaller, skinnier kid.
In any event, it became clear quickly as soon as I went to a few local bike races that I was really good at it.
