I think I have found the secret to a more relaxed life. Cycling.
Obvious you may or may not think, but let’s look at the evidence.
Yesterday while cycling to work along part if the national cycle route 2 I felt myself starting to relax, enjoy the view and god forbid start to say hello to fellow strangers on their bikes.
By the end of my ride, albiet sweaty, I felt more relaxed than I did before I left, a bit of an achievement after seven miles.
Even the ride home at one in the morning, the roads were clear and the only other road users I really had to worry about were a few rabbits and an urban fox.
Yesterday I saw things and places I never see when in my car. There is a real sense of freedom about taking to the saddle, do it right and it gives you that sense which you never forget and which drives you back to it again and again. Do it wrong however and it drives you back to your car.
Every city and town has an unknown beauty to the car driver but one that is very well known to the cyclist.
So next time you see someone with a big grin on their face, just think they may have seemn something you missed while you were stuck in the traffic.
