Amy Cycling Adventures: How Cycling Changed Her Life
If you follow Amy on her YouTube channel, you know that cycling is a huge part of her life. In this article, we’ll delve into the five ways that cycling has changed Amy’s life, as she rides through the countryside reflecting on the impact cycling has had on her.
Exercise and Enjoyment
Before taking up cycling, Amy used to run and go to the gym, but she never really enjoyed it. “I’d come out of breath and I can’t say I was excited to go for a run or hit the gym,” she says. However, once she started cycling, everything changed. “I get excited about getting on bike rides, especially if it’s in a new area or going on a long one,” Amy shares. Cycling has become the exercise she truly enjoys, and it has dramatically improved her fitness level.
Feeling of Belonging
Amy has always felt a bit different and like a bit of an oddball. However, cycling has given her a sense of belonging like never before. “For the first time in my life, I just feel like this is where I’m meant to be when I’m on my bike,” Amy says. Whether she’s riding solo or in a group, she feels like she belongs and has made many friends. Cycling has provided her with a sense of community and acceptance that she cherishes.
The Joy of Exploration
Amy’s first big cycling trip was the North Coast 500 with her dad in 2021, and it was a game-changer for her. “It made me realize there are so many roads to pedal on,” she says. “Cycling through the countryside provides a connection with nature that driving cannot replicate.” Cycling has given her a sense of freedom, and she finds that she can truly experience everything on her bike.
Stress Relief
One of the most significant benefits of cycling for Amy is the stress relief it provides. “When I’m feeling stressed or worried, I just hop on my bike, and those worries seem to evaporate,” she shares. “The focus on the ride or the challenge of a hill helps the worries just trickle away.” Being outdoors, in the middle of nowhere, allows her to shout and wave hello to animals, feeling free and unencumbered by the weight of her worries.
Mental Health Improvement
Lastly, cycling has had a profound impact on Amy’s mental health. “When I started cycling, I was not in a good place,” she admits. “Cycling gave me a reason to keep going and a reason to get out of bed. It helped me find my smile again and pulled me out of a dark place.” Cycling provided Amy with a focus away from the challenges in her head, and she found solace in the rhythm of the ride and the beauty of the outdoors.
Exciting News
As Amy rides, she also shares some exciting news with her viewers. She received an email about her manuscript, a book she has been writing for the past two years, which was accepted for publication. The book features elements of her mental health journey and other personal experiences, and she hopes it can help others. Amy is in disbelief and shares her excitement and nervousness about the forthcoming publication, which she sees as a milestone in her personal and professional journey.
Conclusion
As Amy finishes her ride, we can see the joy and passion she has for cycling and how it has impacted her life in myriad ways. Cycling has become more than just a hobby for her; it has become a lifeline, a source of joy, and a means of self-discovery. Through her experiences and her upcoming book, Amy hopes to inspire others to embrace cycling and find the same sense of belonging, freedom, and mental health improvement that she has found.
