🚴‍♀️ Current Obsessions: Crying on a Bike (and Loving It)

Right now, my biggest obsession my therapy, my release, my everything is cycle. Yup. Indoor cycling. Spin class. Clipping in and zoning out. If you know, you know.

There’s something so powerful about being in that dark room, music blasting, legs pumping it’s like my body finally gets to scream out all the things my mouth can’t say. I get so in the zone that I’ve actually cried during multiple classes. And not a cute tear either I’m talking real, emotional release. It’s kind of wild, but the only other place I’ve ever felt something that deep and spiritual is church.

Cycle clears my head.
It pushes me past my limits.
It reminds me I’m still here. Still strong. Still fighting.

Unfortunately, I’ve had to pause my classes recently. With everything going on, I haven’t had much of an appetite and couldn’t keep up with how many calories I was burning. And let me tell you making the choice to stop wasn’t easy. It made me sad. Still does. But I’m listening to my body, and once I’m feeling more nourished and back in balance, I’m getting back on that bike. Period.

Do I want a Peloton? Yes.

Have I been stalking them on Facebook Marketplace? Also yes.
There are some solid ones under $600, and I’m this close to pulling the trigger. But part of me wonders if it’ll hit the same at home.

Because I recently tried Process Cycle in Southern Pines, NC and… WOW.
The vibes? Immaculate.
The room was dark, the lights pulsed with the music, and the energy was electric.
Then at the end? They handed out cold towels with essential oils and I nearly ascended. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend.
