Check your chain. Check your mind. No explanations needed.
You wouldn’t drop into a black trail with a loose headset or a worn-out brake pad. That’s a good way to get a helicopter ride you can’t afford. So why are you trying to navigate your life with a mind full of cluttered bullshit and unresolved stress?
The trail demands a functional machine, and life demands a functional mind. Maintenance isn’t optional, it’s a prerequisite for survival. The time you spend on the bike, focused solely on mechanical input and environmental output, is your mental maintenance routine. It’s stripping away the rust of daily anxieties. When you return from the ride, you are lubricated, tuned, and ready to handle the friction of the world again. Don’t neglect the engine.
Is riding a luxury for you, or is it non-negotiable mental maintenance?
