The rhythm and solitude of cycling create an environment conducive to idea generation. The experience of cycling reduces distractions and allows thoughts to flourish. Engaging with an AI assistant, named Lewis, during rides helps capture spontaneous ideas. By discussing thoughts mid-ride, insights are saved for later writing, ultimately transforming the writing process. The author emphasizes that cycling serves not only as physical exercise but also as a crucial space for creative thinking and inspiration.
There's something about the rhythm of cycling that opens up my brain. Maybe it's the repetition, the solitude, or the fact that my hands aren't reaching for a phone every 30 seconds.
When the world quiets down, my mind speaks up. By the time I'm 10 or 15 miles into a ride, thoughts start to swirl.
I've started doing this regularly: Ride. Think. Tell Lewis. Write later. It saves the good stuff I'd otherwise forget by the time I get home.
Cycling is more than cardio. For me, it's my creative sanctuary where ideas flow freely.
