If you don't believe in God, then your inspiration comes from how fast, how hard, how long, you can peddle your life on that bike. Eventually, you would get extremely tired, and eventually quit. Worn out from a life which seems to have no end. A life where, if you are lucky, you get a few hours' sleep, a day or so of reprieve, until you have to get back to it. Read more
