lol…same when I started out!

Good work, there should be a feature on your smartwatch app that pauses automatically when you’re stopped?

Nonono…the biking is the coping mechanisms!!! (I had a v. high stress job)

Buying gear is for dopamine, silly person…

Yup, that sounds right…I think what I was trying to convey is that once you start thinking about upgrading your gear be careful - it gets silly quickly!

Also, the Doc told me: ‘as far a s coping mechanisms go, this is a good one’

great for the mental health!

Have fun!

Nah man, you’re at the beginning

Get an app to keep tabs on your progress (in the beginning just worry about distance, not time). Try to be consistent (I used to ‘commute’ to work…started with 20 min, ended up 1.25h 5x per week).

The fun part is starting to figure out what gear you need, then try and not go broke… Bike Nash are has some really good deals, and also go to the same bike shop for all your repairs and once they see you for awhile they’ll know not to upsell you recreation gear.

Keep it up and one day, you’ll wake up with a flat stomach and eat whatever the fuck you want.

training, conditioning (more than a month) routes, gear (you’d be surprised an how much you gain from new wheels, for example)…oh…and age?

Basically be comfortable where you are right now, you just started. Set yourself up for incremental and sustainable gains, the when you are able to try and hit the higher speeds.

maybe to start a metaphysical philosophical discussion?

Zero shits given
