Let me think....😕

The free wind in your hair, speeds in excess of 60km/h. The fresh moring breeze. Hearing the birds. :p

VS.

A bell sound, getting the living daylights hit out of you, black eyes, cuts.🙁

Nope biking...definetly. PS. Why not take a fall now and again....same effect as boxing, sometimes you even look worse.

If you feel you can do it, go for it. Remember Jonty Rhodes ... a SA Cricket Player...Well, he is/was (not sure) in the SA Mens Hockey team as well.

I have the same problem. I train in Muay Thai (Thai Kickboxing) Those days are basically Anaerobic days. Whick makes it really hard to recover for the bike. I am still trying to figure out a good schedule.

I don't really fight, it's more like hiting the bag and shadow boxing. Only the moves are from broxing, but in the realitty it's like a hi intensity aerobic class...

well, I try to lift weights and run besides and as a part of training to be in the better condition to ride anda have fun with my mtb.
What I do is leave 3 days a week to ride.
