Your family is pretty fast on a bike, how did your parents encourage you and your sister growing up?
They just let me try every sport I wanted; mountain biking was one of the last I picked up. They were a little skeptical at first because they thought it was just a bunch of dope smoking hippies but I converted my whole family to bikes now.

It is more rewarding and you don’t get as fat.
