What began in physical therapy with a few easy miles on the stationary bike becomes something to love: longer rides, a cycling club, a Strava membership, and eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duvine.com\/tour-finder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a multi-day bike trip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI often see feelings that shift from frustration to ownership,\u201d Dr. Fillar says. \u201cPatients who start cycling because running or court sports like pickleball or tennis have become painful discover that it\u2019s very sustainable.\u201d She describes one patient, a lifelong triathlete dealing with severe arthritis, who transitioned to cycling and never looked back. \u201cShe\u2019s super competitive with it now,\u201d she says. \u201cOver time people discover that with distance goals, group rides, and improved fitness, cycling offers a version of athletic life that\u2019s equally satisfying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And cycling, unlike other activities, doesn\u2019t have an expiration date. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the few endurance sports you can do into your 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s,\u201d Dr. Fillar notes. \u201cIn my field, we\u2019re increasingly focused not just on helping people recover from an injury, but encouraging them look forward to decades of activity and independence\u2014and cycling fits that exceptionally well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, cycling isn\u2019t just about athletic staying power\u2014it\u2019s also about where the bike can take you. \u201cFor many people who discover cycling as a joint-friendly way to stay active, it can also become a vehicle for adventure and exploring the world,\u201d Dr. Fillar says.<\/p>\n<p>Having a cycling trip to look forward to can serve as a powerful motivator\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.duvine.com\/blog\/8-ways-my-first-bike-trip-changed-my-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">something to work toward<\/a> that takes cycling from a rehabilitation tool to an exciting pursuit. It certainly worked for me. During the seemingly endless months when all I was allowed to do was take walks and practice heel slides, I put <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duvine.com\/tour\/dolomites-bike-adventure-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a trip to the Dolomites<\/a> on my calendar. It shifted my perspective on recovery from simply healing to being ready to ride. Less than a year after a surgery I was on a bike in the Italian Alps, back in the saddle stronger than ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCycling vacations combine several things we know are beneficial for long-term health\u2014regular aerobic exercise, social engagement, time outdoors,\u201d Dr. Fillar says \u201cFrom my perspective, that\u2019s a powerful combination for physical and mental well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cycling as a Way of Life One thing that often surprises new cyclists, especially those who were reluctant to adopt a new sport, is how quickly bicycling outgrows its origins as a recovery tool.
