Here we found a variety of answers to a person's situation who had been cycling a rather long distance and now and then, he started to feel sick, especially after riding for distances of 10 miles or more. He threw out a couple of possibilities, such as not drinking enough water before cycling, or going too hard while he was cycling.
A number of people responded to his query and gave a multitude of possibilities. A few suggested whether perhaps he ate just prior to his cycling routine, and one other person thought maybe he was on anaerobic respiration and was in oxygen debt. If you're not sure what 'anaerobic respiration' and 'oxygen debt' are, simply Google them. One person suggested that he was suffering from low blood sugar and advised him to take a "sugary cup of tea 1 hour before his ride". A few others suggested that he was riding too hard, and one person said that after cycling "on a hot day over hilly roads for hours, with so many litres of isotonic drinks passing through him, coupled with a bit of fatigue", it would take its toll on the body.
As we mentioned at the beginning of this post, it all boils down to the situation. If you are going to do some hard cycling or training for a triathlon, for example, we strongly advise that you seek professional advice from trainers to doctors before you start your training. This way, you can be certain that if your are going to be sick while you train, you will know what actions to take if and when that situation arrives. Otherwise, if you are just going for a leisure cycle around your residential area, just take a bottle of water with you for hydration. Cycling is pretty much like any other sport that pumps up the heart, thus we think constant hydration is important.
