In these tumultuous times filled with political discord and social media arguments, the author finds solace in biking. The ride allows for a mental escape where worries about current events fade away and appreciation for simple moments—like breathing and feeling the sun—takes center stage. Personal anecdotes highlight how biking offers a calming alternative to the chaos of everyday life, grounding the author and reminding them of what truly matters amidst external tensions. Ultimately, biking serves not as an escape from reality but as a way to reconnect with it.
But while I was on the bike that day, none of that existed. The road was peaceful. The air was still. It was just me and the ride.
Riding gives me perspective. It reminds me that most of what we're arguing about isn't nearly as important as we think it is-not in the grand scheme of things.
