Here is a good video by Simon Richardson, a former professional road racing cyclist from the United Kingdom.

In the video, Simon states he was inspired to focus on the getting in the flow aspects of cycling after reading the book by Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives. The book Movement explores what might it be like to inhabit a space designed for people instead of cars, and has a section focused on cycling as an integral part of everyday life.
