<strong>Is</strong> there life<br />
after youth?<br />
_<br />
“As I’m trying to answer your question I realize that I’m not<br />
really good with words, I would definitely use my bike if I could.<br />
When you are a bike rider you learn to follow your guts and shape<br />
your own lines, you teach yourself how to be safe in dangerous<br />
soil, and you understand that some of the Earth laws were meant<br />
to be broken. For so many years I have been pedalling against<br />
the beautiful old “calçada portuguesa” and a bunch of “velhos<br />
do restelo” that always have told me I was not gone make it.<br />
But what do they know about the future? What do they know about<br />
tomorrow when they were not even ready for yesterday. Man, there<br />
is a lot more than life after youth, it’s up to you to know if<br />
you have been following your heart,taking enough precautions to<br />
be safe in grown man’s world. Make sure you live for today, and<br />
maybe I will see you tomorrow.”<br />
Pedro and one of his many tricks up his sleeve,<br />
