The Repeat Cycle

What this episode covers

How To Stop ‘Starting Over’ and Finally Move ForwardThere they are again - middle-aged men in Lycra, riding two abreast on your route, adorned in colours so fluorescent you could hear them if you closed your eyes. Safety yellow. Emergency orange. That particular shade of blue that seems scientifically engineered to assault retinas. They project an image of athletic prowess, weekend warriors conquering tarmac with the seriousness of Tour de France contenders. Meanwhile, the driver stuck behind them at 15 miles per hour likely has a rather different perspective on this spectacle.But this isn’t about that kind of cycling.This is about something far more insidious: the psychological cycling we all do, the maddening mental roundabout where déjà vu isn’t some mysterious feeling of prior similarity but an absolute, gut-wrenching recognition that we have been here before. And here we bloody go again.
