I can definitely relate to that, riding my bike helps me stay physically and mentally fit. I find that riding by myself on quiet roads out of the city or on longer trips (cycle touring) gives me that necessary space that feels like meditation on wheels

Mind you one of most memorable views was early morning, biking to work thru Hyde Park, London and coming across the Queen’s Horse Guards lined up alongside the Serpentine just as the sun was rising and glinting off the Guards’ polished-to-the-max helmets. (I remember the spot well as on frosty mornings the small gap between the bollards was often VERY icy and required maximum focus and care not to come to grief!!
