MSII here about to take step 1. After a long time of prioritizing other expenses I was finally able to buy a bike last year. I played football in college and had speculated that cycling would be a sustainable replacement to fulfill my competitive and active side. After one year I have not been disappointed. I don't have much clinical experience but what I have experienced has pointed me towards surgery (possibly peds sub). Ultimately final decisions are one+ years away but I am still curious as to whether or not surgery residency and surgeon's lifestyle allow for time to pursue cycling (or any residency for that matter).

I do have a small family (4) and like to ride at least three intense rides/wk. What have your experiences been?

Thanks
