  • Lex Albrecht, Canadian Pro Cyclist. aka soul crusher
    May 22 2021

    I call Lex soul crusher, from what I witnessed with my own eyes.  Imagine a bunch of cyclists (men) pedaling up a mountain, pretty much as hard as they can.  Now imagine a girl riding up next to them,  talking to them, telling jokes, taking some videos, and then quickly accelerating to the next dude pedaling out his demons.  Then, repeat...(for miles and miles and miles).
