"Is there a point at which you do more harm than good by not playing [or watching] on Sunday? I don't know. It comes down to an individual decision. If there's something to do on Sunday that allows you to feel better about yourself, then, do it."
I ride on Sunday mornings but I also respect and understand those that don't ride on Sunday. For me it is a positive both physically and mentality. I feel better about myself and I'm not so ancy in church because I haven't done anything all day. I'm kinda the black sheep on a block full of mullahs anyway so it gives them something to talk about. |

This is one of those things that I don't give much thought to anymore. I'm fine with riding on Sunday's which drives my wife nuts. We'll go on a walk every sunday night, or even a bike ride on our mountain bikes, but if i put on my stretchy pants and do a longer ride on my road bike, that's breaking the sabbath. It's just one of those things we don't see eye to eye on as I don't see a problem with it even though I haven't done it.

I am not trying to make a joke here. It probably has to do with thinking those that wear the stretchy pants are doing something serious and those with shorts on are not. Kind of like if my kids wanted to throw the ball around in the back yard, no big deal. If they wanted a neighborhood ball game, then it was a big deal. I guess it is perception and silly if you really think about it. What difference really is there in a guy riding 5 miles on Sunday in stretchy pants vs some shorts. |

I've been surprised by how many fitness gurus will advice that you rest on Sunday. Even Gym Jones, the guys who trained the actors for 300, schedules rest on Sunday.
Best lesson I ever got on Sunday activities was from my Grandfather. I was about 10 or 12, and we were at our family cabin in Midway, UT, not too far from a tennis court. I wanted to go play tennis with my brother-- Mom said no, because it was Sunday. Ever resourceful, I appealed to a higher court and asked Grandfather if it was okay to play sports on Sunday if it was with family. He didn't give me a yes or no answer-- he simply explained that what we do on Sunday is a demonstration to God of our love for Him. He told me to do what I thought would show God the proper respect. "So . . . I can play, right?" "If you think that shows God that you love Him, sure." Naturally, I didn't go.

I'm with Viking on this one. As long as one attends one's meetings, I see no reason for riding being wrong, but my sensitivities may be skewed. If somebody doesn't wish to exercise then I respect that but hope such a person can respect my feeling better about myself by riding.
