Bicycling would be a great distraction too, especially if you ride with other people and talk to them. Plus, endorphins are good for whatever ails you.
But his relationship didn't end. She just went out of town for a little while ... really, a very short time. And she didn't even go that far! She's only 1/2 a continent away ... he could cycle there in a few days, or catch a cheap flight if he wanted to get their faster. He could go see her every other weekend if he wanted. It's not like she's on the other side of the world where it's impossible to cycle to, and where "cheap flights" would cost $2000.
