Why I Ride: Finding Meditation on Two Wheels
Published December 15, 2024 on matbanik.info There's something about the rhythm of pedaling that quiets the noise in my head.

You start somewhere, and you end up somewhere else. There's a journey, not just motion. Road vs Gravel I've ridden both, and each has its appeal: Road cycling is about speed, efficiency, and that feeling of gliding Gravel riding adds adventure—you never quite know what's around the next bend Building the Habit The key for me was making it easy. Bike ready to go, kit laid out the night before. Remove all friction between waking up and getting on the road. More rides to come as I explore new routes and push my limits.
