I liked the whole article :thumbup:
One thing i find most beneficial about riding is that it is a form of meditation. I find this to be true to many of the people i ride with. Once on a bike your full attention is required, you need to focus your mind and body. In doing so you push all those things in your head in the faaar back corner or even forget about them to concentrate on riding. So any worries about bills, work, life, any doubts we have, any fears, all those dissapear to let room to focus on the road, on shifting gears, scanning the area ahead...After a good ride most people feel relaxed because for a moment they were able to let go, to forget about all the things mentioned above that might have been eating away at them, they step off the bike mentally refreshed. They just had a connexion with nature, with the elements, with the earth, the wind...I have experinced this before ^_^
