There is something trippy about bike riding or probably just about any lengthy repetitive physical activity. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes of riding to enter a some kind of trance state and then... A part of my mind is still controlling the pedaling and balancing, it presses the brakes and shifts gears, turns and stops me on traffic lights. It is aware of the surroundings and it turns my head to check the blind spots and intersections in case if there is another Speedy Gonzales trying to do something stupid. The rest of the mind (the bigger part of it!) is not there at all. It is out of this world traveling places, seeing things, and mocking around with concepts or at the very least seeing things around in a very different way.

The state is very similar to the one I get when I'm stomping a dance floor. It also takes up to an hour to enter it and then I start seeing things differently while still being able to keep dancing.

Music helps. A lot.
