Seré Prince Halverson
“This was the part of the road he knew best, the part his old blue Schwinn had known so well that at one time, the bike might have found its way back home without anyone riding it.”
― Seré Prince Halverson, All the Winters After

“What did I discover during my solo—besides learning to unwrap my energy bar ahead of time? That you ask yourself a lot of questions when you're alone on a bike for that long. One question more than others: Why the heck am I doing this? When I was done, I think I had found the answer: For the satisfaction that comes with pushing your body to the breaking point and conquering the unknown.”
― Matt Long, The Long Run: A New York City Firefighter's Triumphant Comeback from Crash Victim to Elite Athlete
