Today, the man who once lived for the adrenaline of the next big deal or the next viral television moment has found a different kind of meaning. He has confirmed what many had long suspected: that his priorities have undergone a radical shift. The “rough years” weren’t just a period of physical rehabilitation; they were a mandatory sabbatical from the ego. He has traded the relentless pursuit of work for the simple, sacred act of being there for the school runs, the quiet mornings, and the mundane joys of family life.
In a move that surprised his critics and supporters alike, Simon has returned to riding bikes. It is not an act of recklessness, but one of calculated defiance. He refuses to allow the trauma of his accidents to dictate the boundaries of his world. However, the way he rides has changed. The bravado has been replaced by a deep respect for the volatility of life. He wears the gear, he takes the precautions, and he models for his son that while life can fracture you in a heartbeat, you still have the power to put the pieces back together.
