I went years without road biking and it didnt help me appreciate it any greater amounts. In fact, I only thought about when seeing the bike in the closet.
Riding my bike every day is what helps me appreciate it
I dont do the Zen thing. For me, every ride is perfect when it's finished and I can look back on it with a sense of accomplishment and joy. However, there are days when I know there is going to be good power to the pedals from complete recovery, the weather is dandy and the bike is in a fine state of polish. Oh well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
