I chose October for my annual Bike Diet because I was babysitting my favourite dog in the world and then going on vacation for the lather half of the month. I chose to sacrifice my daily bike commute since I had to bring the dog to work with me so
You know that feeling when you have to ride in the pouring rain after months of incredibly sunny weather? IT FEELS SO ICKY. And it’s because you are totally unprepared when the misery hits you like a ton of bricks after you realized that you’ve been spoiled by the sun
I have a confession: I prefer riding alone. I socialize enough off the bike and the introvert in me is always yearning for an escape, which is one of the many reasons I am drawn to cycling. Yes, certain longer rides are only fun with a small group of friends but
My friend and I were riding a few weekends ago and we came to a profound realization: Cycling makes us nicer people … when we are not riding!! When you are doing 6+ hour rides, conversations subject around the most random of topics ranging from stupid things we’ve seen, shit other cyclists do that
Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated. This is a silly quote because it just sounds pretentious but my friends jokingly tell me I’m obsessed with cycling all the time (…I don’t think they are joking) and you know what, I am obsessed! So what? 80% of my cycling friends
A couple weeks ago as I was riding my bike, I suddenly decided I don’t want to live a normal and stagnant life. The past 5 months of my life involved major changes, eye-opening learning experience and lots of new adventures. In the past 3 months alone, I’ve come to so much spiritual and psychological
I love solo rides: my 12km commutes, 60km of hilly fun or 100km of tranquil solitude. To explore new territory. To stay effortlessly fit. To recharge. To escape. To practice mindfulness and increase self-awareness. To sort things out. To solve problems. To be inspired. To come up with new ideas. To
Are you sick of seeing #fitspo posts on your social media feeds? Do you get annoyed at friends who are constantly talking about their active and healthy lifestyle? One, you can unfollow them or two, leave them alone! Most people hate to admit it but if things bother you that much,
I love cycling and the reasons are endless! Here are a few more feel-good moments on the bike: When the skies suddenly open up and the sun comes out of hiding, on what was forecasted to be a cloudy day. When you get to a light that turns green right
Sweat. Of course, that’s number one on the list. Fitness changed my life for the good and it will do the same for yours. Indulge in a passion. Designing, writing, cycling, helping others… whatever it is, practice it everyday. You will feel more productive and will live a more meaningful life. Dispose of
Cycling makes me feel so alive. Why? The positive addiction. An addiction with benefits. It’s a free gym on wheels. The satisfaction of a great workout. The feeling you get when conquering a mountain. The low impact on your body. The feeling of effortlessly getting fit. Being able to satisfy your
I love moving. I love sweating. I love riding my bike. I love gym-ratting. I love feeling the pain during a working out and knowing that I can push through it because I’ve done it before. I love jumping out of bed at 5am for a workout, able to wake
Hi! I am Kate. I walk the walk and I talk the talk. I’ve been living a self-proclaimed “effortlessly” fit and healthy lifestyle for the last decade. This blog has been around since 2005 and serves as an archive for my journey.
I’ve been biohacking since 2014. I believe we need a balance of modern medicine and holistic healing to thrive in our world today.
I do NOT diet, count calories, watch my macros, nor do I beat myself up if I don’t workout daily. Eating well, cooking nutritious and delicious meals, and exercise is as second nature to me as brushing my teeth. How? I focussed on habits and lifestyle instead of outcomes. Wellness shouldn’t be hard!
