Cycling is by far one of the best fitness practices/sports all-around
with its collective and inclusive benefits. I have been cycling to work, pleasure and fitness since 2008, when the price of gas hit $3 a gallon.
I may have saved a lot of cash, but it's really been other benefits that are making more sense to me. Cycling is good holistically with respect to maintaining well-being. Add to this, I have found a personal response through human action, as small as it might seem, to the global
climate crisis. I began small with an old bike, riding to work, and found a reunion with the bike carrying a bodily connection with an archetypal spirit of an adventurist of local intersections
amid landscapes (world of direct experience) by way of cycling field work and the inner landscape (inscapes) of narrative, language, human aspiration, poetry, paradox, myth, etc. Cycling has proven to be almost a catholicon for holistic health and wellness, and has such potential to change an individual if perhaps this account (logos) were considered and experienced by more.
