Peter has worked in arts marketing for several years but only recently realized that he needs to spend more time doing what he is truly passionate about and what he loves: And a big part of that is cycling. He has commuted to work by bike for years. Last year was the first time he participated in the Friend's for Life Bike Rally, and it quite literally changed his life. After seeing himself at his best; laughing, sleeping, eating, and riding all day, surrounded by passionate and supportive people, he realized how important cycling was to him and how alive it made him feel. Still in the process of turning his life around, Peter has become an indoor cycling instructor, resigned from his job, and is currently going through that 30-year-old period of rediscovering himself. Fresh from his first ever trip to Europe, and with a new light in his heart, Peter is excited to document his experiences on the rally this year with you.
