Since the time of Aristotle,
political philosophers have
noted that those who live in
cities have a different
sensibility than those who live
in the countryside.

The Cyclist
Gabriel was born into a
country family to a father who
wanted a better life for his son
than his country community
offered. Over five years, he
put a plan in motion that
placed Gabriel in the top boys'
school in the nearby metro
area. That is where the story
really begins.

Living through failure, lies
and deceit, Gabriel made his
way out into the world, green,
but eager. Travel with him as
he finds the love of his life, the
heartbreak of the path we
sometimes have to choose,
and the hand of fate playing
its final card.
