encouragement

when you see a cyclist, climbing a hill, geared all the way down, so that they are pedaling and pedaling, but barely moving

don't you just want to call out to them "you can do it!" or "keep it up! you're doing great!" or simply "you're gonna make it!"

i know i would appreciate it -- when i am that cyclist.

but I guess I'm just not a yell-sweet-somethings-at-random-strangers kind of gal.
