Glad to see your back Dan, I'm sold on the magic of bikes as I have always
been sold on the magic in photography.
To me its when things are truly amazing is when they get my attention.
When they seem to defy reality. Gravity. And are as close as you can get to
something resembling "magic". Making things appear and disappear helps.

Biking is one of the few things also I've excelled at. Few "sports".

Most magic as of late it seem to me have been involved in electricity.
But has moved on to the computer zone.
