If you are a cyclist or have a friend that is one, you know what the title is all about, from hoarding gear and equipment to obsessing over each and every part of bike, cycling is a hobby that goes far and beyond the act of riding a cycle itself !
1.Two is one, one is none
Once a person is hooked to riding his bike, he can’t wait to get his hands on another one, if you have an MTB, not having a road bike beside it almost makes you feel uneasy and vice versa, kind of like that saying “Two is one, one is none !”
2. No matter your profession, you become a skilled mechanic
You may have clocked thousands of hours sitting behind a desk in your office, but when you come home you just have to get your hands greasy and work on your bike, after all it isn’t work, it’s therapy !
3. You may have 5 formal shirts but 10 riding jerseys !
You don’t just start becoming addicted to riding, you start becoming a hoarder as well ! 3 riding jerseys just don’t satisfy your eyes anymore, you just have to have ONE MORE.
4. Drinking alone is no fun and neither is riding.
One of the many good things that come out of riding your bike is the sudden increase in the size of your social circle. New cycling clubs in Noida are popping up everyday which only goes to show the love people have towards this amazing sport and the sense of belonging it provides.
5. You may have changed a lot, but you only changed for the better
From a vast change in your physical appearance to your newly acquired hobbies, you start notice changes in yourself which make you a better person. You realise how empathy towards your fellow riders almost comes naturally to you and every little step towards protecting our environment counts.
