I just think that by assuming that by upping the intensity level we make cycling "another facet of calisthenics" shows that you don't understand at all the pure joy of a high intensity workout. If you are happy settling for where you are...fine....but you don't knowhat you're missing. Sometimes taking the easy path diverts you from the road less travelled. And that makes all the difference.
