Interesting point -- it's rare that 100% of my attention is on riding my bike and the environment around me. Same when I'm driving a car. Even if I'm not listening to the radio or music or an audiobooks while driving, my mind is going 1,000 miles a minute, thinking about all sorts of things, hopping from one tangent to the next. I sometimes even talk to myself.

Same on the bike (though I've avoided talking to myself). I have ADD. I can't focus 100% of my attention on just about anything.

Should I stop riding now?
