Haiii...I had no idea how transformative the decision would be when I started cycling to work in April. The journey has been exhilarating, from my initial commute between Kerobokan and Sanur to my current route from Renon to Sanur. Here's a glimpse into my cycling adventure. And the incredible benefits I've experienced along the way.

It all started in April when I decided to swap my motorcycle keys for a bike helmet. Living in Kerobokan and working in Sanur meant a daily commute of about 12 kilometers. It was a challenge at first. I discovered the rhythm of morning traffic and the serenity of early dawn as I navigated the busy streets of Bali.

The physical effort was noticeable, but so were the rewards. I quickly realized how much more connected I felt to my surroundings. My daily motivation became the fresh morning air and the sight of the sun rising over the island. My cycling data showed that speed and endurance continued to improve, which was incredibly satisfying.

In May, I moved to Renon, which brought with it a new route and new experiences. The commute from Renon to Sanur is slightly shorter, about 9 kilometers each way, but no less rewarding. This route has allowed me to explore different parts of the island. It has brought new challenges and scenery.

One of the best things about my new route is that it is close to the beach. After a day in the office, I now have the luxury of taking a detour along the coast. There's something magical about watching the sunset over the sea after a day's work. It's the perfect way to recharge and reflect on the day. 

Don’t forget to grab my coffee after the office at Sanur

Weekends have become my time to explore. I've taken long drives to Ubud, Nusa Dua, and Canggu. These rides are not just about the destination but the journey itself. Cycling through Bali's diverse landscapes - from lush rice fields to coastal roads - has deepened my appreciation of the island's natural beauty.

Cycling to work hasn't just changed my mode of transport. It's changed my lifestyle. The combination of health benefits, environmental impact, and sheer joy of riding has made it one of the best decisions ever. If you're considering changing, I recommend riding a bike and seeing the world from two wheels.
