Recalling is reconstructing impressions, worrying is predicting an unpredictable future. The only real moment is now.
And on a bike if you ain't in the now moment then you might be in quite a mess. A real mess.

The only thing I find that works better is a FAST ride on tight / technical track on my motor bike (off road), you cant let your mind wander off the job of riding or its all over.

Just think what a MTB could do! Have one or two mates ex-motocross converted to MTB (for various reasons, not least of all financial) and are loving itEugene wrote:The only thing I find that works better is a FAST ride on tight / technical track on my motor bike (off road), you cant let your mind wander off the job of riding or its all over.

As far as the more literal definition of head clearing is concerned, I've been disease free since 2008 which coincides with my entry into obsessive riding

I've even taking to riding after I've finished for the day and getting back in the dark just to get out.
..But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs!

While any type of indoor aerobic exercise will provide some measure of mental improvement, it has nothing on the stress relief experienced by cycling or running in an outdoor environment exposed to nature and fresh air.Wayfarer wrote:Actually, our University study (University of Western Sydney) is about the influence of aerobic exercise on mental/cognitive function. I'm one of the helpers (not the actual researchers) doing the indoor cycling and running classes to improve the experiment group. We need to write a research paper on something everybody already knows? What's the world coming to?
