There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
Before you freak out (you know who you are), I found this quote noted in a left-wing political discussion of war (in case that helps... but then, it could hurt I suppose). It struck a chord with me.
It made me think of fear-based cycling, and how people let their fears dictate their actions, and cripple their love (for cycling). Fear of punishment (evil cars). The desire to punish others because of their own fears. And so I was reminded of this.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
1 Corinthians 13:4
Gentle readers, may you continue to overpower fear, and grow in your love of simply cycling.

Partly tongue-in-cheek, I'm afraid the guy in the top picture looks like he's about to get a sweater caught in his rear wheel! ;-)
Excellent post!
Bothered me, too. So I "fixed" it.
And thanks!
Hey! I thought that maybe you or some of your readers would be interested in an event that we have every year - the Springtown Spin. The Springtown Spin, taking place on October 24 this year, is an annual fundraiser benefitting Tarrant County Youth Collaboration, a nonprofit organization that works to eliminate child abuse and neglect due to social isolation.
We would absolutely love to have some of your readers participate in our rally this year. You can read more about it at springtownspin.blogspot.com or www.tcyc4kids.org.
