So far, we’ve met some fascinating people on the road, one of them a self proclaimed theologian. While we didn’t debate the newest theories of man’s existence, or whether Aristotle would have agreed with Kabbalistic texts, our new-found friend did pose a challenging question.
What does a bike have to do with Judiasm?

Bike and Judaism Along the lines of the earlier comment: There's no standing still in Yiddishkeit. You either go forward or backward. Ever see someone with a fancy track bike at a stop light? They have to move forward or backward in increments to remain upright. Yet, whenever they move backwards its for the sake of ultimately moving forward to their destination. Sounds a lot like a descent for the sake of ascent.
