The physical sensation of gliding with the wind in your face is exhilarating. That automatic activity of pedaling, when you have to be awake but not think too much, allows you to let subconscious thoughts bubble up, and things seem to just sort themselves out. And the adrenaline wakes you up if you weren't properly alert.

I use a stream-of-consciousness approach; if you don't censor yourself, you end up with what you're most concerned about, but you haven't filtered it through your conscious mind. Then you craft it.

I like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?

Man's real home is not a house, but the Road, and that life itself is a journey to be walked on foot.
