New to Bike
I am a biking
newbie. I’ve trained on stationary
bikes at the gym but my outdoor experience is limited to townie bikes with
baskets.
Since joining
Team Phoenix, I have experienced many firsts with biking.
One, I got a real
road bike. My new road bike is
sleek and quick. I had to learn
how to change gears and where to grab the hand bars. Thanks to Team Phoenix volunteer bike guru, we are learning
how to change tires and care for our bikes.
Two, I now have
bike shoes that lock into the petals.
A strange feeling but a more efficient petal stroke.
Three, I tipped
over when I forgot to unlock my shoes from my petals when stopping, a classic
rookie mistake.
Lastly, I
discovered that I like to go fast.
It is exhilarating to get out on the bike paths or roads and discover
new places. I feel like a real cyclist and I am really enjoying this new sport!
A quote I saw
recently, “Life is like riding a bicycle.
In order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.” Ride on!
