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

by Jake Rivera May 11

I used to think faster was everything. I'd obsess over my Strava times, hunt down KOM segments like they owed me money, and treat every ride like a time trial.

That 12-mile ride transformed my entire day. I wasn't just getting to work. I was arriving energized, pumped...
