It's true. not having a bike makes you miserable.
Sounds tough mate, hope you’re doing ok now?
I’m fairly open about mental health and I try and stay aware of my own state. It’s a new era don’t you know?
Cycling is a no brainer as @dave r alludes to in his post about endorphins. My interest is touring and Audax. Planning and prepping is very motivating. The ups and downs on the actual ride are something I am managing well. BUT after a long ride* I peak mentally from all the endorphins, the Type 2 Fun phenomena and sense of achievement, then about a day later I experience quite a depressing low. Depending on how tough the ride was this can last a day to almost a week. The black dog seems jealous he wasn’t paid any attention to. This is something I am training myself out of and I am aware of. It requires effort and more experience. I wonder what the professionals know about this phenomenon. Does anyone here know?
*I am an Audax newbie and still working on 200s (5 this season so far) and in July I’ll try my first 300. So still small stuff should you speak to the veteran riders.
I was run off the road...door'd at speed. injured in the gutter then the truck backed up and flattened my bike. saving up for a new one so It'll take a little while. in 20 years that was the first bad accident and hopefully the last.OK, why not cut to the chase and tell us why you haven't got a bike and whether you can get another one?

It's true. not having a bike makes you miserable.
imagine how much better you would feel with 9 bikes thoughI have 8. I will never know that miserable feeling.
Hopefully out at weekend tho
Surely there must be a forum bike we can build/magic up?
