I write about cycling more than other topics because, as my favorite hobby, it's natural that I'd meet a disproportionate number of friendly people who share my passion for the sport. Sometimes, I hesitate to write again about a kind & thoughtful cyclist, because it seems that I write about those folks too often.
But then ... again ... another cyclist does the nicest thing. Today's Mr. Nice Guy goes to Matt, an acquaintance who coached me on the nuances of Criterium racing. He offered to ride with me, to teach me techniques out on the road, but I have a tight schedule, so we just met at Starbucks, where he drew diagram after diagram at our little table. For one brief hour, I listened carefully and soaked in as much of his expertise as possible. What a generous gift. Now I'm prepared for Saturday's race. And once again, I am blessed.
