Heart pounding... breathing hard... knees quivering... shorts riding up between cheeks....
In other words, I took my new bicycle out for the first time tonight. The first step to getting back into halfway-decent shape, I hope. Wish me luck (and sorry about the image of my shorts riding up).
These are the electric bikes that my wife and I are renting to tourists this season. We rode them around the island yesterday afternoon and they were a blast, covered 12 km and had a nice work out with no damaging stress to our knees or back (I sustained some injuries falling down a flight of stairs and am in physio for it)
You ride it like a regular bike but when you face those hills you have a genie that you can access with a flick of a switch and you go right up those hills like they were flat ground.
Good for you! I need to do the same thing. I haven't been on my bike in almost a year!
34 years for me. And once I bought it, it rained for a week. Yesterday was the first decent weather we've had.
