I wasn't into biking (or any other sports, for that matter) when my kids were babies, but oh, yes, I so agree with this! Maybe some moms don't need it as much, but I most certainly did. At the time, I'd go hang out at Starbucks with a craft or a good book. Exercise is even better, of course, but yes, time out was very necessary in my case.
