Can cycling be a form of escapism, and if so, is it truly possible to find balance and harmony in life if were using our time on the bike as a way to avoid dealing with our problems?
Ive often heard cyclists talk about how the time they spend on their bike is a form of meditation, a way to clear their minds and find inner peace. But is it possible that were simply using cycling as a way to temporarily forget about our troubles, rather than confronting and resolving them?
If were using cycling as a way to avoid dealing with stress, anxiety, or other negative emotions, can we truly say that were finding balance and harmony in our lives? Or are we just putting a Band-Aid over the problem, only to have it resurface when were back off the bike?
Is it possible to strike a balance between using cycling as a way to relax and unwind, while also confronting and dealing with the challenges that life throws our way? Or are these two pursuits mutually exclusive, and we need to choose between using cycling as a form of escapism or as a way to truly find balance and harmony in our lives?
