BEN.

On a sunny day, April 23rd of this year, I found myself in a picturesque village where I found a special fence in the middle of a beautiful park. While I was walking quietly through the streets of the village, my eyes fell on a special bicycle wheel that was attached to the fence. The wheel was notable for its usual dimensions, with a diameter of about 26 inches and 36 spokes of robust steel. The rim was slim and black and showed light wear from frequent use, giving it a subtle sheen in the warm sunlight. The tire had a classic design commonly used on low-end women's bicycles, with a smooth profile and a black sidewall that was faded in places.

As I stood there breathless, obsessed with the beauty of this wheel, I heard footsteps approaching. Suddenly a man appeared in front of me and I realized that he must be the owner of this special wheel. He introduced himself as Ben and told me about his huge passion for bicycle wheels. Over the years his fascination had only increased. He spoke passionately about his impressive collection of bicycle wheels that he carefully kept in a storage room on the outskirts of the city.

Ben told me he would often spend hours staring at the intricate patterns of the spokes and the way the light played on the metal. As a child, he spent hours tinkering with old bicycle wheels, taking them apart and putting them back together. Over the years, his passion only grew further.
