THE CYCLISTS' PRAYER
By Fr. Picx
the Cycling Priest
As we bike through the city streets, the highways and mountain trails
Protect us Lord from
-- spills and crashes
-- trucks and cars whose drivers do not recognize our right to use the roads
-- dogs who like to bite our shapely legs
-- potholes, cracks and sharp objects that flatten our tires
-- thieves and bikenappers who lust after our bikes
-- the rains and thunders
-- and all kind of nasty accidents.
Give us the energy and strength
-- to wake up in the morning and go for a bike ride
-- to keep us from bonking
-- to ride up the hills and mountains
-- to reach our destination.
Grant us the courage
-- to descend rapidly down the hills
-- to ride through the rain
-- to join and finish races even if we know we will never win.
