Video: Spencer Rathkamp on How Riding Improves Mental Health – Pinkbike

Wellness is not just a destination, but a journey.

Movement opens up a better world and movement is truly living. Even on the darkest of days, there can always be an escape and for Spencer Rathkamp, ​​that’s on a bike. The bike allows you to hit the reset button and escape the challenge and clutter of everyday life. Taken to a place of mental freedom, where the mind can wander to desired depths, the distinction between person and bike disappears and only one thing matters. Actively absorbing all that nature has to offer is refreshment for the soul that provides an almost indescribable feeling, one that can only be understood by experiencing it.

Donate to Outride today, where we work to instill this in the spirit of youth. Ambassadors like Spencer can bring the joy of bicycles to America’s children by increasing access to bicycles and teaching proper cycling education. Go to Outridebike.org to donate
