Me and My Bike

A few months ago I wrote a post about buying a bike and 3 weeks ago I finally bought one. I chose this bike because it is versatile, light and fast but I can still ride it on the gravel trail close to our house. I’ve taken it out on a few 1 hour rides and am getting used to riding a real bike again. I’ve spent plenty of time on stationary bikes in the past few years but being out on a bike is very different. The person at the bicycle shop said I should get used to riding on the bike before putting on clipless pedals on. I think I will be able to ride faster when I get them but honestly am glad I don’t have them yet because I know I will be taking a tumble on one of my first rides with the clipless pedals. I have found my rides to be very relaxing, especially the ones where my family is along. Going for a ride is a great alternative on a day when you need a break from the impact of running. It is also a great activity to do with the family. I don’t think I am likely to enter any triathlons anytime soon or be a speed demon on my bike ( I am likely to remain a turtle) but I can see riding a couple times a week for fun and exercise.
