My husband used to ride both mountain and road but had shelved both bikes in the attic of our garage. He also suffered(ers) from depression. After I quit smoking (in 03) and then drinking (in 04) I pulled my old freebie junker bike out of the garage and started riding to get healthy again. Once I started riding with the lbs he took notice and started to ride again. His depression, while not completely in remission, has been lessened by his return to riding. I could kiss Ernesto Colnago.
