Why Starting Again Feels Harder Than It Should 4K

Описание: Why does starting again always feel harder than it should? You’d think getting back on the bike would be simple.

But if you’ve taken time off — whether it’s weeks, months, or years — starting again can feel heavier than it should. Not physically at first… mentally.

In this video, I talk honestly about why restarting your cycling journey feels so difficult — especially as we get older, especially during winter, and especially when the fitness we once had feels far away.

This isn’t about smashing watts, chasing KOMs, or pretending motivation magically appears. It’s about:

Why “ready” is a myth

The mental barrier to starting cycling again

How to rebuild cycling fitness without beating yourself up

Why indoor riding on Zwift still counts

And how small, consistent rides quietly rebuild confidence

If you’re a cyclist who feels stuck… slower… heavier… or just not quite like the rider you remember — you’re not alone.

Starting again doesn’t require confidence.
It requires honesty.
And sometimes, just showing up is enough.

Whether you’re riding in British Columbia rain, spinning indoors on Zwift, or staring at a bike that hasn’t moved in a while — this one’s for you.

Thanks for watching — and welcome back.
