Why did no one tell me cycling was so addicting?
Oh God. It started off with a used bike off Craigslist. Then a better bike from a store that I saved up months for. Then the shorts, bibs, and jerseys. Then the 20mi, to 40mi, to 62.5mi rides... Then the 500ft, to 1000ft, to 2000ft elevation gains. And my breathing now feels so clear and open. Not sure if anyone's had a similar problem but I used to develop thick saliva/phlegm all the time and I had to keep spitting. Man.... This is amazing
