Rendell Response

I thought Rendell’s perspective was an interesting one, and wasn’t aware of the nature of those relationships in Bicycle racing. There are always times within communities or groups where individual sacrifice is beneficial for everyone else, or vice versa. However, sometimes it can be revealing to see those sacrifices as opportunities for different experiences or new knowledge. When one member of a band solos, the others often have to focus more on maintaining a stable rhythm rather than being more creative with added fills and flourishes, which some may see as a sacrifice of artistic freedom. Nevertheless, the experience of playing a more foundational role in the composition can also be creatively stimulating by giving the musician a better understanding of the importance of such a role in relation to the rest of the band. This could also be an opportunity to display more energy and stage presence, given the easier and more simplistic tracks one might have to maintain. In any situation regarding the relationship between individual and team, the success of the ultimate product gives meaning to these sacrifices.
