All humans have physical, intellectual, and spiritual sides. As important as exercise and proper diet is... it is only one side of what we need to maintain to remain healthy and happy. As humans... we also need to mature, grow, and continually learn to feed our intellectual side. We also can't neglect our spiritual side ether. Or else we end-up preaching whatever "made-up religion" we appoint ourselves the religious leader of (or worse).

Over the years (I am retired now) speaking with some fellow workers in he lunchroom or whatever meant entering into their own special church of.... pet neutering, tree saving, recycling, political movements.... and yes even bicycling. These people always seemed "challenged" by social interactions normally expected in the workplace. It was never considered a good thing. I would try to avoid being the "cycling-deacon" in the office.
