Time has always meant movement — not just the ticking of seconds, but the sense of always looking ahead to more adventures. For me, that idea has never felt more real than when I’m on my bike — especially my Time Scylon.
I recently took on a 200 km ride here in Barcelona, and yes, it was fun — in that special way that only cyclists understand. Of course, it wasn’t easy; you wouldn’t expect it to be. But that challenge is exactly what makes it meaningful. My year of cycling across Europe — from Switzerland to Italy and beyond — prepared me for this end-of-season finale. As I write this, I’m reflecting on those moments, but also looking ahead to what’s next: more rides, more climbs, and more discovery this autumn and winter, right here in beautiful Barcelona.
Riding a bike isn’t just an activity; it’s a reflection of who we are. My Time Scylon already feels like a part of me. We’ve shared sunrise ascents on the Stelvio, and Tour de France dreams on the Col du Tourmalet. It’s one of those climbs you want to do again and again — and on my last trip, I did exactly that, riding it twice in two consecutive days. Each ascent felt new: the air, the light, the emotion. The Tourmalet has a way of humbling and inspiring you every single time.
The Most Amazing Place I’ve Cycled in 2025
If I had to choose just one, it would be the Furka Pass in Switzerland. The long, sweeping turns, the echoes of the valley below, and the snow-dusted peaks above make it feel like a road built purely for the joy of cycling. It’s dramatic and peaceful all at once — a place that rewards every turn of the pedals with views that seem to stretch into forever. It’s the kind of climb that reminds you why you fell in love with cycling in the first place.
The Most Rewarding Cycling Experience
The most rewarding experience of all was climbing the Stelvio at night to meet the sunrise. There’s something almost otherworldly about pedaling through the dark, guided only by the beam of your headlight and the rhythm of your breathing. As the sky begins to shift from black to deep blue, you feel the mountain come alive around you. Reaching the summit just as the first light breaks over the peaks — it’s a feeling beyond words. You don’t just see the sunrise; you earn it. And in that quiet, golden moment, it feels like the whole world has paused just for you.
My Goals for 2026
Looking ahead, my dreams are shifting eastward. I want to explore the Asian side — new roads, new cultures, and new horizons. Japan has always fascinated me: quiet mountain routes, precision, beauty, and a culture that respects both nature and effort. Then there’s Nepal, where the Himalayas rise into the clouds — raw, wild, and humbling.
One of my biggest dreams is to reach Everest Base Camp from the Tibetan side. There’s an asphalt road that winds its way through the high plateau, tracing a line between the earth and the sky. Just imagining riding there — under thin air, surrounded by the highest peaks on Earth — feels like the ultimate adventure. It’s not just about distance or altitude; it’s about being fully present in a place that reminds you how vast the world still is.
Ultimately, time is the most precious gift we have. It’s limited, of course — but how we use it is entirely up to us. There are 86,400 seconds in every day, and I plan to use as many of them as possible doing what I love most: riding my bike and looking ahead to the next adventure.
And that’s the real connection between Time the bike and time itself — both are built to move forward, to capture the moments that matter, and to remind us that every second counts.
