#OWNYOURRIDE
‘The Own your ride’ feeling is a personal feeling of confidence and strength, of being in control of your own ride and of being comfortable while pushing your limits.
Discover what #ownyourride means to the Q36.5 crew!
#OWNYOURRIDE - ALINA
” I spent an average of more than 5 hours in the saddle wearing the UNIQUE bib shorts.
From 35 degrees under the burning sun to 15 degrees on top of a mountain pass, there was no compromise in comfort and no saddle pain.
I’ve been riding every day. I’ve been trying real hard to test the limits of the UNIQUE. I did not want to miss any of those beautiful roads or those magnificent views.
That’s exactly what it means to me to own my ride. It’s to always want more: to be able to perform more and to ride more.
Pursuing my passion has never been more comfortable.”

#OWNYOURRIDE - GÖKHAN
“For me cycling means enjoying the solitude! I made all the important decisions of my life while I was on my saddle; including deciding to immigrate to Italy!
#OwnTheRide is a concept of being alone with only your bicycle as a companion; waiting for the rain to stop, stopping for an amazing photo just after the steepest hairpin of the road or having a strong coffee after a long ride. ‘No matter what I’m actually doing, I’m happy whenever I ride alone!’ ”

#OWNYOURRIDE - KATHRIN
“Cycling for me means more than just going out to do some exercise.
It’s about challenging myself: getting to know myself better as I am pushing up mountains and overcoming my inner demons.
It’s about having fun and laughing with friends when going for a ride, or stopping to enjoy the views, taking a photo and being awed by the beauty of nature. It’s about breathing and finally relaxing my mind.
When I come home after a ride I always feel happy – and I’m already looking forward to the next one.
It’s addictive and I’m more than grateful that cycling is a big part of my life.
That’s what #ownyourride means to me. Riding my bike means being free!”

“I stopped to think why I like cycling so much, I like fatigue (meaning the effort and the struggle you feel when riding), I like being in nature, I like the freedom.”

#OWNYOURRIDE - GIORDANO
“#OwnYourRide to me means to find a feeling of fluidity in which physical and mental fatigue lead to well-being by transcending pain.
Another way to put it is that I want to have control over my body, my bike and what I’m doing.”
