Is Cycling Good For Your Career?

Exploring the Impact of Pedaling on Professional Success

Is Cycling Good For Your Career? As someone who has been riding bikes for over 30 years and has had a successful career in corporate sales/sales management, I can answer YES with 100% confidence.

Here’s why…

• Cycling can be expensive, providing motivation for you to make more money. 

• Cyclists are healthier. You don’t fall sick as often as others. Research has shown cycling builds your immune system.  The healthier you are, the more time you have to work. 

• You look better and are thinner because cycling helps you lose weight. Whether it’s fair or not, better-looking people get more opportunities in the business world. 

• You become the person others aspire to be. Whether they say it or not, most couch surfers admire people who exercise.

Overcoming Cycling Challenges

• Being a cyclist separates you from the crowd. The business world is competitive, and it’s generally good to be known for achieving things outside of work.  

• Cycling can be a great social sport.  A lot of business success comes from who you know. A general rule is that the more people that like and respect you, the more doors will be open to you in the business world. 

• Cycling makes you a more disciplined person. If you’re planning a ride and ride and a long day at work the next day, you’ll be sure to be in bed early the night before. 

•  You’ll become more organized. It takes a lot to pull off bike rides consistently where your bike doesn’t break down, or you don’t get lost, or a billion other things that could go wrong. All these skills transfer to success in business.

• Cycling gives you the confidence to succeed. Conquering that mountain or tricky downhill successfully gives you the confidence to conquer the challenges that arise in your work life. 

• Cycling improves brainpower: Like no kidding, cycling improves blood flow and oxygenation to your brain.  Let’s go, Einstein.  

• Cycling improves your mood. When you’re getting that endorphin rush, you’re happy, and people like working with happy, positive people.  

• Cycling reduces stress. Nobody likes to work with stressed-out people.    

• Cyclists sleep better: More and more research shows that sleep is a key component of a long, happy, healthy life.
