Thanks Steve, for that bicycle. I use it a lot. So does my son, my wife, my whole family. Each one in a different way, their own way. We’ve all traveled to new places on our bicycles. By the way, besides working really well, they are beautiful: sleek, elegant.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. — Stanford Commencement Speech, 2005
