On Road Cycling: Speed Up to Slow Down
I have discovered something that may seem obvious to those who have experienced long-distance cycling. There’s a duality of time compression and expansion that occurs when on a long ride.
At once, a cyclist feels the andrenaline-amplified sensation of high speed while barrelling down a hill, yet enjoys the stately progression of being out on the roads for several hours. It it simultaneously both physically exhilirating and mentally relaxing - a fantastic break for the full mind of a knowledge worker.
I’m hooked.
