Michele Rides the Tour of Flanders with Forever
The Tour of Flanders is one of the five Monumental Classics in professional cycling. Every year, amateurs get the chance to ride the same route as the pros—through the hills of Flanders, over cobblestone sections, and up the short, steep climbs known as the "walls." Michele Maggioni was one of them.
"The Tour of Flanders is a cycling race for the pros. For amateurs, it is organized every year to tread the same roads on which the professionals compete. In Flanders, one pedals on cobblestone sections and on the famous 'walls,' short, steep uphill sections of road," he said.
"For me, pedaling there was fantastic. Treading those stretches of road seen only on television with one's bike, bouncing on the cobblestones and realizing how much effort it takes to be able to go fast with one's bike... Forever has been a faithful companion, helping me push hard on the walls and lulling me on the flat sections of cobblestones. Thank you, Levitate."
Michele’s ride through Flanders shows what passion and perseverance can lead to. We’re proud that our Forever foot could be part of his journey, helping him chase his goals and experience the roads he once only saw on screen.
