Loved those lines especially the one in bolds.

I just couldnt agree more, whenever i feel low i go out for a ride on my bike even if it's a 110cc. Really helps me in getting the right mood and set aside the memories of hardships i have been through.

The countless number of people who ride a motorcycle to work and slog daily need to be made aware of the fact that the key to destressing is already with them!

Ya I would agree, commuting or taking a short ride does reduces stress and refreshes the mind. I do this after every hard day job or after every hectic exam schedule.

I don't know how far does a ride reduces stress in the metros with heavy traffic, but it does definitely works in the hill station where fresh air and greenery is always in the eye.

Frenz, Biking is a game of heart, that’s what I think. Yes, there are other important factors like technique, reflexes, balance etc. but basically speaking if you do not have a heart of riding all other factors just cannot be applied.

I generally compare bikes particular super bikes with a horse. Horse looks beautiful and is surely a magnificent animal with which everyone falls in love but getting onto the horse and then galloping it is not everybody's piece of cake. I go trail riding wherein each ride has to have couple gallop strips and in open and free trails horse behaves very differently while he appears to be in total control in a riding school within the walls.

One can build a heart by learning how to ride effectively and one has to go through the schooling in a gradual manner. Everybody who can ride a bicycle can surely ride a bike too but just riding and riding with a skill with safety being a major factor is a different thing.

Knowing yourself - What kind of temperament do you have, how are your reflexes, how is your gut feel, how quick is your decision making, can you get your wits around quickly, what energy levels do you have, what is your risk taking capacity, what are you biking for - Fun, profession, competition, sports, excursions etc...Objective / goal setting for biking would be an important factor for anyone before taking to biking. Once this is done then one can buy a bike accordingly and then enjoy it to the fullest.

Knowing the bike - Torque, BHP, Balance, braking, pick-up, weight, reliability, handling, blind spots / pitfalls, over speeding hazards, limits. You know your horse, it sails you across and if you do not know your horse, it can dump you anywhere and sometimes at real bad places.

Biking is not about looking at others what they do, it is not about competing all the times, it is not about just impression making, it is about your own self. It’s a feel good factor, it fills in your spiritual quotient of life. It harmonizes your chakras of life if done in an appropriate manner. You got to synchronize yourself with the bike and make your body a part of it and see how you enjoy riding. Biking can surely balance your WLB (Work life balance) if done properly.
