In 2017, I discovered a passion for cycling that quickly became an obsession. From riding a cheap mountain bike to pushing 100 miles a day on a high-end road bike, cycling was my everything—until a hip injury stopped me in my tracks. After a full hip replacement in 2023, I’ve been on a long and challenging journey to get back on the bike. Though the recovery has been painful, my love for cycling remains stronger than ever. This is the story of my fight to return to the thing that brings me the most joy.
