On mornings when I feel like I can hardly get out of bed, the thought of riding my bike to class seems impossible. But once I get cruising- watching New York wake up and feeling the adrenaline rush from the traffic, I feel so alive.
And there is nothing better than going for a ride when I'm stressed or upset. Looking straight ahead at the traffic puts me in a psychological state of moving forward. Feeling the wind on my face, engaging my whole body, and forcing myself to breathe is so liberating.
It's funny how letting go of my fear of riding in the city has helped me relax and focus in a lot of other ways. Pacing myself and feeling an energized readiness is the perfect state before going into physical work or rehearsal at school.
