Exactly so

Not just that, either. You can actually enjoy your bike ride into work, and arrive feeling a bit calmed and refreshed, if you sit back a little and relax while you're riding.

Or you can turn the ride into a bit of a white-knuckle "how fast can I get in?", "I must not be overtaken by those other cyclists who I'm sure are slower than me" kind of ride.

Seems obvious that we should always do the former. But somehow too easy to slip into the latter. Something about ego / enjoyment of speed. I dunno.
