Physical and emotional struggles on the bike

There’s so much to say about this topic. Lack of motivation is common. Why are the majority of adults obese (and discontent)? Self help: Think of cycling as your drug (as opposed to alcohol, we all need dopamine); it’s your me time; it’s healthy for you now and in the long run; it clears your mind of stress and negative thought patterns; carve out the number of time blocks you can do per week and stick to it - don’t budge on your commitment; think of your bike time in terms of time blocks, forget wattage numbers and mileage; find rout(s) you enjoy the most and stick to those (avoid traffic); periodically treat yourself to some new gear for the bike; always remember why you enjoy cycling - the freedom and escape from the daily grind it affords!
