You and bike are fine to continue taking care of yourselves and your family.

You're an average guy that was a hero for those short minutes. No parade, no medal, award or key to the city but an everyday hero for doing something difficult, not making a stink about it and probably making it look easy.

If the shoe fits...

I consider my wife a warrior. She doesn't own a gun or serve in the military. She has a lot difficulty just walking but she beat the shit out cancer.

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky Balboa

Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't. - Richard Bach
