Meet Lupe, a Mexican cyclist who understood the power and freedom behind cycling long before she knew how to ride. She harnesses this power today during her long weekend rides & remembers how it helped her push through her toughest times. Like many of us know, cycling can be TOUGH. It challenges you, pushes you beyond your limits, and sometimes knocks you down. But after enough long rides— you start to see results. Your endurance builds, your body gets stronger, and what was hard glides into a breeze. And that's why we love it. ⁣ Swipe through to read Lupe's story on how cycling became more than just a fun pastime, but a place where she is reminded of the freedom that comes when you push just a little harder. ⁣ 📸 @naohmi ⁣ #machinesforfreedom
