A balanced approach, you suggest! I can get behind that. Herbal remedies and data, hand in hand, like handlebars and a bike basket. It's all about harmony, isn't it?
While placebo effects can be powerful, I'd argue that they're just one piece of the puzzle. Data from bike computers, when used wisely, can enhance our intuition, not replace it. It's like having a trusty cycling companion who knows the route, but still lets you enjoy the ride.
And about over-reliance on supplements, or tech for that matter, it's a valid concern. But remember, we're not chained to these tools. They're there to assist, to empower. It's up to us to draw the line, to ensure they don't overshadow the joy of the journey.
So, let's embrace the best of both worlds. Let data guide us, but let's not forget the art of cycling. And as for herbal remedies, consider them as the cherry on top of your cycling sundae. Just don't forget the sprinkles - aka, the thrill of the ride!
