The Unbreakable Pull: Why Cycling Always Brings Me Back
The Roadman Cycling Podcast - A podcast by Anthony Walsh
In this reflective episode, Anthony explores why cycling continues to pull him back, even when he thinks he's done with it. Despite trying other activities—running, climbing, and the gym—cycling remains a constant presence. Anthony examines the deeper reasons for this, from the comfort and familiarity cycling provides in chaotic times, to the sense of identity and mastery he finds in the sport. Drawing on philosophical ideas from Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Camus, Anthony considers cycling a refuge that offers control and structure in an unpredictable world. Whether it's pushing his limits or finding simple joy in the ride, cycling has become more than just a sport—it’s a journey of self-discovery that keeps calling him back.
