Why do cycling fags think they're the only ones who are

why would u get ed

Like most sub-cultures, they think their subculture holds some key to spiritual and physical enlightenment.

>cardio

how the fuck do people stick with this shit? i want to quit running about 10 minutes before i start and most runners say 'i hate it but love it lmao' so why not just do something you actually like? they treat it like they do it for a purpose and not for enjoyment and i don't get it

>>36915207
ahahahahahah fucking this

I'm pretty sure some people's brains are just wired differently. I've "picked up" running a handful of times. At least twice I broke through that horrible initial slog of having no cardio/wind. And I still hated it. Got no enjoyment from it. No runner's high, etc. I haven't read into the science of it but some people seem to have a mental and physical pleasure from it. We aren't those people.

yeah i tried it and the best mile i ever got was like 6:32 which was about a minute more than most of the other people, and i was trying really fucking hard

hated every second of wanting to vomit, also it's not like you look like you can run fast when ur not running, u just look like a twink shit

>Increase muscle tone

I enjoy cycling, it feels nice and refreshing, not as exhausting as running, get you to places.

ED as a result of extended saddle time was a myth that never had any scientific credibility and has been thoroughly debunked for more than 20 years. If you put all your weight on the nose of your saddle or something it is possible to reduce circulation to your genitals, but it turns out that people generally don't do that because it's really fucking uncomfortable.

There is a feeling among cyclists that cycling is among the healthiest sports, which not necessarily the same as feeling like it's the only way to stay healthy, because it's way less hard on your body than most sports that rival it in terms of physical strenuousness. Most avid cyclists can continue to ride well into old age, whereas athletes in other sports are far more likely to have dropped out by middle age due to injuries or whatever. It's a lot more common to see a 60-something year old flying down some singletrack than it is to see them excelling physically at just about anything else.

Cycling is also one of the easiest sports to build a lifestyle around.

i love cycling, but i get off on running.

cardio is not about cardio, its about zening the fuck out in nature. fuck running on concrete, absolutely fuck that. trail running is da bomb. all one with nature and shit.

stop pushing yourself so hard during early cardio, you need to build a base.

problem with cycling is muh knees.

>anyone who uses headphones while running or cycling needs to check their materialism.

What you want is actually a thin, hard seat that fits you well, and to be in good enough shape that a lot of your weight stays on your feet.

I'll say this for cyclists, they actually get a useful skill out of their cardio. When people talk about strength vs cardio I always ask
> When was the last time you actually had to run real far? And when was the last time you had to pick up something real heavy?
But with a bike you can actually go reasonable distances at a reasonable speed to get shit done.

Cycling is great, and a good workout you can do on your way to work/school. The problem is that it's really easy to overestimate the amount of exercise you do, especially when you're experienced and efficient managing gears. If you live in a plain city without slopes and ramps, you barely do a little bit more effort on a bike than just walking, and you should stop on traffic lights and stuff if you don't want cars fucking mad at you. "Muh heartrate" is not an excuse for being a dick on wheels, go to a fucking closed track if you need to.
