Anybody ever have trouble getting back on the bike after a fall? I seem to have a mental barrier to wanting to ride now. Not fear, just lack of desire.

My fat gut won’t let me stay off the bike too long, even after a crash. Blessing and a curse.

Just came off breaking my collarbone from a crash, and was thinking the same thing. A couple of things helped - remembering how little you crashed in your grand scheme of riding, as well as the hyper awareness you’ll have once you get back on the bike. Also, as ACD1 said, knowing it’s tied to your health helps.

Oof, those tire catches are brutal. Super scary way to fall, but glad you didn’t get too busted up. You’ll be back on soon.

Yes but mine was definitely rooted in fear- caught a pothole going downhill and flipped over my handlebar, got caught in my bike in the middle of the road. Luckily two pedestrians saw me and made sure traffic stopped and helped me get to the sidewalk to regroup. It took me a few weeks to get the courage to get back on my bike and am still more cautious going downhill. I forced myself to get back on my bike, small rides first and then back to full commute.

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

Many of my health & fitness colleagues are finding themselves out of work. The next big question is, will they ever go back to a gym or health club. While I hope the answer is yes, we must live in the here and now and create new opportunities for the industry. There is a need and demand for well-trained professionals to work online with patients at all stages of treatment, recovery. How will you effectively train your clients these days?

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts.

It goes through his problems, despair, but also shows his road to recovery through platonic love, support, and he finds redemption. It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.
