This forum is a refreshing place to visit. I feel we can say it as it is here. Lets us talk about cycling & life issues. Freely. Cycling is a panacea for all sorts of things. It helps physically & emotionally. Many people have mentioned how it's helped physically. I've mentioned how I have struggled with (reactive, not bipolar) depression in the past & cycling, running & swimming have helped me with this as well as physical injuries. Cycling takes top place for me because I can do it for longer than running & I don't have to visit a venue or wait for a free lane like with swimming. Has anyone else experienced this...or have I done a " faux pas" by mentioning the word depression?
