CYCLING VLOG | I TRIED CYCLING EVERYDAY - 25km a Day for 31 Days!

I am a runner, not a cyclist. But when injury struck, cycling seemed like the most sensible option. Aside from wanting to maintain my fitness, I really wanted to explore the DISCIPLINE needed to start and maintain a new habit. What better way to do this than with a 31 day cycling challenge.
This films charts the ups and downs of my of journey as I cycled more than 800km around the city of Edinburgh over the course of a month.
The route I cycled was always the same and encompassed two laps of the extinct volcano Arthur's Seat in the centre of the city - a total of 25.54 km (or just over 16 miles). The two laps of Arthur's Seat provided over 700 feet of climbing each day ensuring hat the ride provided at least a little bit of a challenge.
Filmed during the UK lockdown, this time on the bike provided me with much needed mental clarity as I used up my state-approved daily exercise allowance.

I got into cycling in the winter lockdown, managed to do 25ish km a day for 2 and a half months (aside from a couple of snowy days where it became dangerous), its really fun and great for mental health especially in lockdown, would definitely recommend for anyone! The one thing i would say to everyone starting this challange: There was not a single time, not one, that i felt worse after a cycle than before, I alwase felt better afterwards.

[@Swiftfilmsuk]

Totally agree with this! I always felt better after getting on the bike. Getting started was the difficult bit...

Always fun to watch you absolutely punish yourself, Richard 😆Well done! You got lucky with the weather, if not with the tyres. Exercise was making a huge difference for me this year, too... at least until I got a trapped nerve in late July. I got a treatment procedure for it today, hoping it'll reduce the pain enough to get back my yoga, but I think motivation will be the tricky part now.

[@Swiftfilmsuk]

Many thanks Nicola! Really sorry to hear about your trapped nerve. That's nasty. Here's hoping the procedure goes well and you can get back to the yoga soon enough. All the very best!

I did this and I loved it. I live in AZ where one is stuck indoors cause of the heat but the weather finally cooled in the mornings so grabbed my 10 yr old bike and started with 10 miles and now I’ve been doing 15 on average for over a month. Took a day off yesterday cause my quad was hurting but I found that I got more into it every day I’ve done it. I try to create a new challenge every day whether it is going faster, finding more uphills, going longer and that helps keep me focused and motivated

[@Swiftfilmsuk]

I can imagine how hard it must be to do this in a place as hot as Arizona! It's a great challenge to do and like you, I always enjoyed creating my own mini challenge each day, whether that is attacking the hills harder or going faster on the flat. It definitely helps keep it more interesting. Very best of luck to you!

Thank you very much! Cycling or running, there are loads of beautiful spots in Edinburgh!

[@jancoetzer9941]

It is great to take on a challenge like this, but before anyone does, just be reminded that riding every single day for an extended period is not sustainable, and will cause more damage in the long run. Do it for a month, have that victory, but be careful of trying to do this for too long. You will benefit more if you work in 2-3 rest days per week, and make the challenge even longer. An example would be to aim at 400-500km per month for three to four months, while incorporating 2-3 rest days per week, where you make the rest days part of the discipline. Great video! Are you still cycling today, or did you stop after the challenge?

[@Swiftfilmsuk]

Yes, that is a really good point. It is certainly advisable to have rest days in there or you can do more harm than good. I was interested in the challenge of trying to incorporate a new habit every day, rather than the fitness side of things. I would definitely have stopped if I had been worried about injury or doing myself harm. As such, the majority of my rides were done at a pretty gentle pace. I do still cycle now and I think I have discovered a new found love for it because of this challenge. Thanks again!

[@ChronicAnna]

I recently got a stationary spinning bike after gaining so much weight with quarantine. I tried to go the gym and even got a PT (went to the gym whenever it was possible and we weren’t social distancing) I was only able to lose around 3 kilos. I wasn’t happy though. I’ve always wanted to try biking but with the current conditions I thought of training at home first and see if I would be able to stick to it or not. It is now my 12th day on the bike and I am so happy with the small improvements in my stamina and the quality of my sleep. My dream is to cycle from Seoul to Busan which is around 600KM. I saw this video and I loved how honest you were. Thank you so much. I’m excited to see if I can stick with this habit and to see the effects of discipline on different aspects of my life.

[@Swiftfilmsuk]

Well done you for sticking with it! It's hard to keep doing something when you don't see immediate gains. But sticking with it for the long term is the key. And it can suck sometimes too! Thank you very much for your kind comments and I wish you the very best with it 👍

I was coming off a long period of regular running before I got injured. So I guess my aerobic fitness levels were pretty good coming into this. One of the reasons why I wanted to do this challenge was so that I didn't lose fitness. Cycling is a totally different discipline to running though so it took me a while to adjust! 👍

[@JackChapman]

Loved this video. I love how you shot your bike rides. What camera and handle did you use really interested.

[@Swiftfilmsuk]

Thank you very much! For most of the rides I was shooting with two Go Pro cameras. One of them (a Go Pro 5, I think) was usually mounted to the bike in some way - either by the front wheel or on the handlebar pointing forwards or up at my face. The other Go Pro camera which I used to talk to (Go pro 7 with external mic attached) I played around with. To begin with I had this protruding from the top of my helmet onto my face, but this obscured my vision a bit and compressed my face 😂. I ended up putting it on a long pole and this enabled me to move it around into different positions and get a variety of angles. When I talked to the camera I simply held it up with one hand and spoke into it. There was lots of trial and error but this was definitely the most flexible way to get a good variety of shots. Thanks again!
