The sweet, sweet feeling of summer evening rides. 💃😍 · Thank you to @thegayesy for the photo and the company. 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️✨
📝 "The flow of friendships. Some last as long as a single ride, some for as long as a certain crew keeps getting together. Some bike friendships last for years, people growing together, experiencing the sport as it changes. Some of these relationships transcend riding all together. They're the most special of all." 🤗 · Published: Reasons to ride, for @bicyclingaustralia (see the last post). Pick up a copy at your local newsagent for the full article and a tonne of others. · Photo by @romanpace with @choccyfoot in @ridecairns. #takemeback! Thanks Fi and Wade for so many great convos and catch ups over the years far away from bikes as well! ✌️
📝 "Bikes encourage us to seek out places we'd otherwise never hear of, to speak to people we'd otherwise never meet, to create memories of moments we never would have had. The unfamiliar is made familiar through a love of two wheels." · Published: Reasons to ride, for @bicyclingaustralia. My original goal with this article was to come up with 52 reasons to ride, one for each week of the year. Then I hit a hundred or so and was going to bust the word count. A very good way to feel! · Track the mag down at your local newsagent and see how many more reasons you can add of your own. I hope you enjoy the read! 🚴‍♀️🌈✨
After skilling Wayne up on his own bike (a ten or fifteen year old 26" hardtail) I put him on my bike (a heaps trendy Stumpjumper) to prove a point through real life practice (vs abstract theoretical debate) about the many ways technology mediates our sense of skill, control and our skillful abilities, in relation to the environment. · As expected, Wayne's head exploded with a billion new philosophy and psychology theory insights, something which was an absolute pleasure to watch (see the last post). · I've always been a big fan of getting out of the office and on the bike for thinking through work tasks. It's lovely to see the impact this method has on someone else too. (Plus I think we just got three new papers! Oh yeeaa!) 👊✌️
Meet Wayne (@w_dc). Wayne is an extraordinary philosopher developing a new Theory of Skill - one that explains how cognitive and embodied processes are integrated in all kinds of fascinating ways, particularly in expertise. · Last time I took Wayne mountain biking his mind exploded with so many theory revelations we wrote two journal articles and a book chapter in response, with other wonderful research colleagues at @macquarieuni. · It was only natural to take Wayne mountain biking again! 🚴‍♂️✨
📝 "While cycling media and social media often celebrate racing and group rides, I’m a big fan of the quiet processing time afforded by regular rides alone. These provide an important space to explore various thoughts through to their conclusions rather than push them aside to focus on more immediate tasks." · Published: Forever grateful for bikes, for SBS Cycling Central. · Thank you to so, so many of you for sharing this article and all the comments, especially about how cycling plays an important role in your own lives. If you missed it, the link is still in my bio. · (If you also like racing, while you're on the website check out the live stream times for #roadnats, starting at 5.10pm today! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️✨)
