Easy Cycling
Flat route, light gear, unhurried. Spin rather than grind.

How to do it
Choose a flat route and a light gear, and spin the legs rather than grinding them. Keep your pace conversational, and sit up periodically to open the chest and unload the wrists. Turn back at the halfway point of how you feel, not of the distance.
What it does
Distance and fresh air without the pounding of running.
When you'll be given it
Pitta protocol, and as an alternative on Kapha days.
Where it comes from
Modern practice — no classical source. We'd rather say so than invent a citation.
Take care
Fit the saddle height properly — a low saddle is how knees get hurt. Avoid midday heat.
Not sure whether it suits you? Ask a Vaidya.
There's no button here to start this. Your practice is prescribed each morning — that's what keeps the dose honest.
