We all know the benefits of turning off the phone scrolling and taking time out to read, especially when it is one of the best cycling books. From better concentration to just mental relaxation, but finding time to read can feel like a privilege, and often a luxury over a necessary.
Like any habit, it's a matter of repetition and little and often, but here's some quick tips to help you along the way:
1. Read before lights out. Stop the scroll and pick up the book, it will help you mentally adjust ready for sleeping.
2. Wake up 15minutes earlier and read first thing in the morning. Some of the best cycling books can be thrilling, so not contusive to sleep. Inspiration reads can put a spring in your step or a tail wind on your back for the rest of the day.
3. Always carry your book. This is where Kindles are great as the keep the bulk down. If you prefer the real deal, opt for a paperback version.
4. Find a book buddy. Nothing more motivational to read than the threat of them revealing spoilers ahead of where you're up too. It also gives you chance to digest and work through the story line, especially if it's a thrilling, funny, or sad plot.
5. If you can't read, then listen. I'm a big fan of audio books and can get through several while travelling, when it's a driving commute, or even when at home working through the household chores.
