    Dante, Diego, Justin, Cory, Rahsaan, Charon : if you're reading this, know that what you are doing isnt just for the kids. I am older than some of you and take a huge amount of peace from seeing you at the races, from seeing other people of color out there, striving to be the best versions of themselves without tearing other people down to do it. Need more of that in the world!

      for real dude! I met Justin Williams at Birmingham hammerfest earlier this year (2022) and that was the most lit moment of my life. racing at the same race as my hero (albeit in a lower category 😂) and getting to meet him afterwards. shit means a lot to me

    Cycling has changed my life for the good and continues to change my life and me as I evolve as a man both physically and spiritually. I am 55 years old and I've been riding since I was a young boy. I feel I owe it to the sport/discipline to keep evolving in positive ways....anything less would be a disservice. Thank you Mr. Young for today's motivation.

    It is very lucky to grow up in the community with a role model like him. When I was young, no one around me could guide me on the right path, so I understood the meaning of this role more. I'm planning to open a bike shop that I hope will change the lives of some other young people.

    Dante is awesome! I first saw him in a video with Safa Brian and watching him just disappear in the distance in front of Brian who was pedaling over 1,600 watts just floored me. And this was after a 45 minute training ride where they were mostly maintaining 30-40 MPH the whole time. Makes me wish I had seen people like him in my youth because now I’ve wasted too much of my life to ever reach anything like that level, but it sure has inspired me to take my health and fitness seriously today. This dude changes people’s lives for the better. What an inspiration!

  • @yishaithegift9953

    I love road cycling. I come from a similar background and I can really relate to Dante. I've seen clips of him on RUclips but really didn't know who he was. This video is such an inspiration to me because it was kinda like looking in the mirror. I can feel his passion and drive. In Miami where I'm from road cycling isn't a thing in the hood. You either sold dope, played football or basketball, but cycling was considered a white thing. We as black people tend to change the dynamic and the narrative of any sport we choose to enter. Although it's not about race, it opens our minds to different possibilities and perspectives of the youth. This video was epic. Ride on brother. 🚴🏿‍♂️💯💪🏾

    I've always admired black athletes and wonder why there weren't many in the sport of cycling. I assume it just came down to culture and the sports you were raised up around. Black athletes are genetically gifted in so many ways that whenever I see them compete in "non-black sports", they always do extremely well. Being a casual to moderate cyclist myself, seeing someone like Dante is like a breath of fresh air. Humble, extremely talented and an inspiration for many.

    Dude We need more of this! Cycling is huge in my city. A lot of "hood" kids buying fixed gears and 26" BMX cruisers! But a lot of adult people are mad and angry trying to criminalize these youth who are actually outside physically doing something with themselves. Yeah, they can act rude and ride in city traffic but what it really criminal is the fact that our infrastructure is built in the 1940s, my city's population has shot up 10 TIMES since then! We interface with deadly consequential automotive traffic on a daily basis! Street brawls and destroyed private property happen because of the toxic driving behaviors! The county supervisor representing my area was killed by car on a crosswalk my kids and I walk through all the time!!! Fixed gear bikes have been a hit with the youth in my hometown for over 15 years and you don't see any of the local high schools with Cycling clubs or anything of that nature. The Amgen Tour of California rides through my town annually and we have nothing to show forth in adequate bike infrastructure. Its sad to think that the same streets Mark Cavendish and Peter Sagan have competed on are the same streets drivers have almost killed me on....

I can see it now - cycling programs and bikes for all disadvantaged kids including Indigenous kids here across remote Australia! Imagine...in a generation or 2 humanity would be very different!
