The Bicycle as a Therapist
It may sound like an excuse, a way to justify why I need a bicycle or why I need so much time to give myself to it.
But I do not feel that way. After so many years of cycling, I have come to understand that cycling has cared for my mind more than for my body, although it has done a lot for it too.
In truth, the two go hand in hand. We know that exercise releases dopamine, serotonin, endorphins... tiny bursts of well-being that the body translates into a gentle sense of calm.
