As a keen cyclist, I find the physical exertion and social interaction cycling brings is my main outlet for stress, and a source of enjoyment. This can however easily tiptoe into the realms of dependence and I definitely find it hard when I’m not able to get out on the bike. Having been injured lately I have a personal goal of getting back to strength, but in a controlled and disciplined way since I find it very easy to think things are healing well only to overdo it and put myself back to square one. Lately, this has rekindled my enjoyment in other sports and activities and perhaps, even brought a little less dependence on cycling.",[65,906,907],{},"Something I really value about working at Fivium is that I know the effect this and other things can have on my wellbeing is easily understood and checked in on regularly.
