It's like riding a bike....
No really, it is exactly like riding a bike! Who knew I would actually find an exercise I don't hate and I actually look forward to and make time for?? Astonishing isn't it?! Well, it exists...for me anyway and I'm so excited about learning to become more stealthy on my bike. I started out with a beach cruiser bike..simple, big seat for my big girl butt (LOL)and no gears to deal with! I loved this thing they call bike riding! Way better than walking everywhere! But when I wanted more...like to try going up hills, even the slightest of inclines on the sidewalk...forget about it! I needed gears! My legs could not handle it! So I stuck my toe in the pool of gear bikes...and oh that water was cold at first but it warmed up quickly! Last weekend I put 17 miles on my husband's second hand B-list mountain bike! 17 MILES!! He of course rides the A-Lister happily alongside me and is ecstatic we can enjoy this physical activity together. I like it because now we can bike as a family all around town or on the many trails Michigan's parks has to offer. Now the seat, I'm still trying to get used to...it did things to me that I can't even explain....but my hubby kindly put a gel cover on it and it rides soooo much easier on my private parts...LOL
