How do you use cycling as a way to explore your own limits and potential?

I appreciate the call for inclusivity, but let's not forget the potential downsides of emphasizing competition. Yes, it can attract newcomers, but it can also perpetuate toxic comparisons and unhealthy pressure. Not every cyclist craves the adrenaline rush - some find peace in the rhythm of the ride, not the thrill of the race.

The beauty of cycling is its versatility, catering to various preferences. But when we prioritize competition, we risk alienating those who value the 'Zen' moments. It's a delicate balance, isn't it? How can we maintain the thrill without overshadowing the simple joy of riding? #cyclingcommunity #inclusivity #mindfulriding

So, if cycling's all about self-discovery, why's it always a competition? I mean, you got these folks out here acting like they’re on the Tour de France just to ride to the coffee shop. Is the zen vibe legit, or just a cover-up for that need to flex on the gram? And let’s be real, is it really about the miles or just a race to see who can look the coolest in tight shorts?
