You do get very dizzy when you first learn to ride because you've got to build your stamina up to the dizziness.

It gives me a great buzz because a lot of people, when they see you walk into the wall, they just think you're a bit of flash, you know.
这项运动能带给我巨大的快乐，因为很多人看到女性选手走进赛场时，他们会觉得你不过是来走个过场而已。
But as soon as they see you get on the bike,

But it's great to know that they're looking at you, thinking well if you can do it, then so can I.
不过，重要的是能看到她们一边看着你，一边在心里想“既然你都可以做到，那我何尝做不到！”那种感觉。
