My Road to Better Cycling and Health: No Extremes Needed

In this episode, I share my thoughts about achieving a healthier version of myself without drastic measures. Instead of obsessing over making my bike lighter, I focus on making smarter food choices, enjoying my meals, and maintaining a love for cycling.

Hi there. I’m just another John Q Public on a bike….a Joshua Q Cyclist if you will - get it JQC, clever right? Well, maybe a little clever.

I’m not a pro, I’m not an expert, heck, I’m not a bike mechanic. So why am I sitting here talking to you about cycling? And the journey that I set myself on? I am one of - who knows how many out there - who love to ride their bike, go fast, and want to challenge themselves on the bike but aren’t racers. No team, fancy bus or team of trainers, mechanics, big budgets, etc, just someone who gets that thrill of freedom on the bike and want to challenge themself to something new.
