Get ready for a Ride or Race

Do you remember when you became a passionate cyclist?

Many people associate passion with buying a good bike, a new pair of comfortable cycling shorts, great company or socializing after cycling. Anyway, we all once felt the passion for cycling when we reached a new milestone in growing up as children. Independent driving on two wheels without auxiliary wheels. Maybe you remember that day, your big victory, maybe the glimpses of your parents' worried voices stuck in your memory: "Not so fast! Mind using brakes! slow down!" but you didn't stop because you finally experienced a new feeling of freedom, a huge smile, incredible confidence in your abilities... Yes, it's adrenaline and a rush of happy hormones that is released during physical activity...

Anyway, the passion for cycling may get a little "dusty" over the years, but believe me, we never lose it. Let's ask for this memory, this written happiness in the cellular memory... Cycling is a sport for all generations and above all - it is an activity in the fresh air.

Everyone on the bike! Welcome to the L'Etape Slovenia cycling community.
