He'd always liked cycling.
He'd been into it as a kid.
And this is when cycling started to take off as a competitive sport in the post-war period.
And he gets really into that.
And he was actually pretty good at cycling for a while.
He competed reasonably well.
He never wins any major races, but he finishes second in a big one in 1950.
Like what?
I mean, it's part of what he's doing here is in this post-war period, there's a bunch of open places, right?
Cycling has just started becoming a competitive sport.
So it's just some dude you can kind of slide in.
And if you're OK at cycling, maybe make a life of it.
And it's going to be the same in the music industry, the same as a DJ.
Like he is looking for places.
He's looking for things that where there might be money and where it's not.
It's a new thing.
So like it's not really been ironed out how this business is supposed to work.
It hasn't ossified yet.
So it's easy for him to get in.
I just decided to become a professional cyclist.
