Can riding change your life even if you never planned to like it? Just ask Mirna Valerio. After a trail-running injury put her on two wheels, she found much more than she ever imagined. Join Mirna and her coach, Max, for a scenic ride and the story of Mirna's adventure into cycling.

Love the giggles

Even as a misanthropic old git I can attest to the joy of cycling. "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul" is so true; I love the joy these two experience when on a bicycle.

This was delightful. I'm 64 and 100 pounds over my ideal weight. My doctor told me to break a sweat every day. I took my old bike to the trail. Soon I wanted a new bike and then another and then a e-bike for my wife. At first I concentrated on getting faster. Finally I realized that just riding brought me joy like a boy on the first day of summer. It was physical joy. It was emotional joy. It was spiritual joy. It WAS an unexpected joy. Thank for all the laughter in the video. These are beautiful videos. P.S. Picked up a nice, clean Salsa Veya... at a Pawn Shop! It's beautiful...

I'm so glad I watched this video. Thank you, Max and Mirna. I can't ride at the mo because I hurt my back, so I'm watching others, longingly! There's so much joy in cycling (and in this video), I can't understand how anyone can miss out on it by not riding a bike. Tragic!

Very inspiring! After 21 years of mountain biking, the unexpected joys are still there, the fears are still there, and the struggles are still there - but the experience is life-changing!

That "unexpected joy" happened for my over 40 years ago and is still there. What a great story. And is that pink Huffy still in service, it was bad ass?

I recently purchased my first Salsa Bike. It’s been many years since I have had a bike. This makes me so happy! Mirna is amazing. I am an Ultra Runner, who found cycling to help me keep active while trying to recover from injury. I don’t think I’ve stopped smiling since I got my bike. I’m super excited for the adventures to come.

Way to go, Mirna! I can totally relate. I had been a rock climber for 23 years, but due to a painful foot condition, I had to give it up. I dusted off my old mountain bike and started to ride dirt single track again, which brought me "unexpected joy" as well. I also just purchased a new mountain bike about 6 months ago and it's been wonderful.

I remember reading about Mirna when she was into the trail running scene. Awesome then, awesome now! We each have our own story about biking, as do I. This is just a reminder of how biking (athletics) is a way to bring balance/peace to our daily lives. If I were able cycle all day, every day, I still don’t know if that would be enough 😂 Rubber side down, all!

Unexpected tears of joy here. This is one of the most inspiring videos I've seen in years! Thank you Mirna moving forward despite an injury and sharing the unexpected joy you discovered! Max, you rock! Thank you for doing what you do! Both of you are awesome! AJ, thanks for sharing this inspiring video with the tribe. XO
