When it comes to riding my bicycle or even exercise in general, another great adage is: "Something beats nothing".
I also try to keep in mind the story of a guy in his 90s who rode across Canada. At the end of the ride a reporter was interviewing him.
Reporter: "How did you do that ride?"
Old Guy: "One pedal stroke at a time. One pedal stroke at a time."
Reporter: "You rode thousands of kilometers in all sorts of weather. What was the hardest part of your entire ride?"
Old Guy: "The hardest part of the entire ride?"
Reporter: "Yes. The hardest part."
Old Guy: "Well; I guess the very hardest part of that ride was..."
Reporter: "What?"
Old Guy: "Taking that very first pedal stroke!"
