Everytime I ride the mass, I am further energized to keep riding my bicycle, to push my limits in endurance and tolerance for weather. With me are the other massers--cyclists of varying abilities and dedication--who encourage my biking and validate my refusal to be a 'cager' like society expects me to be. People around me serve as role models for pushing the envelope and serve as resources for how to accomplish that goal.
