Bicycle

I just got back from a lengthy ride on my bicycle. It's turned cold and windy outside, it only made for a more spiritual ride. It's challenging to ride and keep going, it's a great analogy for life lessons. To get up the hill it's more rewarding to keep pushing yourself up there, no matter how much it hurts. Then at some points you just cruise happily along, sometimes you go down great hills with fantastic speed. This can often lead to a crash or skid which leads you in the wrong direction.
Tomorrow i'm considering riding around the whole town for the day. I'll take my backpack, take a stop to the library, pass my school and other similar things that one does on a bike. What a great invention it is, the bicycle. Two wheels. a few bars and you're set. It's an efficient means of travel, and far advanced than the car since you get physical benefits from riding a bike. I've kind of rushed this post, still a bit tired from the ride.
Do you ride?
Where?
Fun?
Rewarding?

Yeah, I like bicycleriding too, or walking for that matter. There's just something satisfying in transporting yourself that way, instead of being transported in a car and you see and experience things in a much better way, I think because you feel more in touch with your surroundings. It's a simple joy, a zen thing, kind of like whistling a melody.

I've been wanting to teach someone to ride for a long time. I remember my own learning vividly. I was 4-5 I suppose and my Dad taught me. I recall it being a great achievment and a turning point in my life. I used to ride miles away from home at a young age.

Exactly. I honestly have no intention to drive a car the rest of my life. Plus it has great physical benefits.

I bicycle while at my family's beach house (that's where we keep the bikes); plenty of flat roads and boardwalks and the like.
My hometown on the otherhand, where I live when I'm not in college, is 43 square miles of mountain. Hell no.

Get a nice mountain bike Aegir.
I just fixed my old mountain bike this weekend. It's fantastic. Suspension, comfy seat, gears, what more could a man ask? I was riding all day in the rain. Bikes are so much fun.

your chain is going to rust up if you keep that up H&V
I remember the time I learned how to ride, I felt the same way as you did H&V, it was a huge accomplishment!
It'd be nice to get one...

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike...
I love biking around town. I did it a few times last summer, but I mostly just did it to get from a to b. It's definitely the way to go.
