I am not a fan of other workouts but I LOVE cycling. Wind in my face, sightseeing, ability to push harder or just cruise to catch my breath makes it really enjoyable IMO.
Same. At first it sucked, but nowadays, I really enjoy just being on my bike. I'm not competitive at all, if I'm slow, I'm slow.
I was going to say the same thing. With cycling, you get an immediate reward for your spent effort because riding fast just feels really fun. So I find myself wanting to put as much energy in as possible.
I'm the same with running. Not a fan of anything else after the years.
Cycling can also be a great social activity. You can have a nice chatty ride to a coffee shop or something a bit more competitive, depending on your preference. And itβs easy to find a group at your level, no matter your fitness.
Great solo activity too for the introverts. Pair of headphones and we're off to the races. It's an extremely adaptable sport.
