Six months of Cycling — here is what actually changed

I started Cycling six months ago with zero background in the sport. The first few weeks were humbling — I couldn't do climbing seated vs. standing properly and had no idea what tubeless tyres even meant. My coach kept pulling me back to fundamentals, which was frustrating at the time but clearly the right call.

By month three something shifted. descending a mountain pass smoothly. That was the moment I understood why people stick with this. The road bike investment was worthwhile — don't cheap out on that. car traffic safety concerns is real and took me longer than I expected to work through. If you're thinking about starting, just go. The learning curve is real but so are the rewards.
