This study aims to elucidate the relationship between cycling, which is a recreational physical activity, and the factors that constitute resilience.To this end, we conducted a self-administered online survey of cyclists in Japan who had consented to participate in the survey via Twitter and e-mail magazines. A total of 198 cyclists were subjected to hierarchical multiple regression analysis. We considered sex, age, employment status, experience of falling off a bicycle, and history of traffic accidents as the adjustment variables, with the independent variables being the amount of physical activity other than cycling, number of years of cycling, time riding a bicycle for recreational cycling, time riding a bicycle other than for recreational cycling, flow experience measured by flow state scale (FSS), cycling experience and approach, and the awareness of changes in one's physical and mental environment compared to before taking up cycling as a hobby. The dependent variables were the dispositional and acquired resilience factors that constitute the brief resilience scale (BRS). The results showed that the number of years of cycling (β=.177, P<0.05), FSS (β=.385, P<0.01), and cycling experience and approach (β=.150. P<0.05) were related to dispositional resilience factors. Moreover, FSS (β=.344, P<0.01) and cycling experience and approach (β=.194, P<0.05) were related to acquired resilience factors.These results indicate that flow and qualitative aspects of cycling experience are related to resilience.
