Biking is not just about exercise, but the fun of the feel of the road. I do not know of a better way to rule your stress, find happiness and health, and do it with the exhilaration of speed. It is a blast! That being said, so few people are on the road, today. There seems to be a lack of motivation, and I want to encourage you to try it again.
Biking is Not Just for Kids
Many adults used to bike, and biked a lot. It was the mode of transportation for them, as teenagers, and once they got into the car, it was over. I am sad when I see this occur, because, it is needful in our society, that this form of transport sticks. The motivation to get from point A to point B will be a great way to start on your biking lifestyle, but more so, it is really a fun way to get around.
For starters, you are outside, and you are not relying on any motors, gas or other nosy appendages. The run of the tires on the road, and the wind on your arms, really is something. The sun is on your back, and you are wearing your muscles into a pattern of tension and release on a repeating mode that really creates a great amount of fitness. The exercise is there, especially if you run into some formidable hills, but, that is just part of the fun.
And, you are getting around, at your pace. Many people think they have to be just as fast as a car, but that is not always the priority. True, on a busy commute, you may be able to beat the cars around you in traffic, but, more so, the pace is yours. If you are thinking this sounds crazy, and that you will never get to work on time, I want you to think about it. If you could take a bus part of your way to work, how much joy would that bring to your life? It is immeasurable, and if you have the opportunity to try it, I invite you to start thinking differently, and give your life a new boost ahead!
Connect with your environment, your community, and find bike riding fun again.
