From Couch Potato to Century Crusher: My 90-Day Cycling Transformation

by Jake Rivera May 11

I'm not gonna lie to you, three months ago I was a complete mess. I was sitting on my couch more than I was moving, my fitness level had tanked, and I felt like a ghost of who I used to be.

Speed Kills Dreams: Why Slowing Down Made Me a Better Cyclist

I used to think cycling was just about legs and lungs. You know, the physical grind of hammering up hills or sprinting hard on the flats. But somewhere between mile 200 and mile 300 of a brutal weekend ride last month, I realized I was wrong about the whole thing. Dead wrong.The real power of cyclin...
