Can cycling make you a better pilot - yes!

Similarities
Control and Balance:
Both involve maintaining equilibrium and making adjustments to stay on course.

Muscle Memory:
Basic control inputs, like those used to steer a bike or an airplane, can become ingrained through repetition.

"Feel" for the Aircraft:
Experienced pilots develop a "feel" for the aircraft's response, similar to how a cyclist senses the bike's balance and momentum.
