Biking

A new found hobby in biking!

Well, not exactly my new found hobby but something my husband wanted to do from a long time. After his hours long of analytical searching on what would be good and where, we settled on buying 2 bicycles from Sportscheck.We were't sure how we would like it , so we bought a little more than the basic models available. The deal was good and we ended up feeling happy and in proud possession of 2 new bikes.Now , we had to fine tune the bikes and get them in order.It was all taken care at the store. Safety first! So we decided on buying a pair of helmets. Colourful head gears with so many distictions unaware to the human eye. I just wanted a simple ladies.  Helmet I remember saying to myself. It off course is the age of the consumer! What next, safety of us was taken care and what about our two new prized possession.We had to save them from being stolen.Yes, we needed locks. Shiny metallic locks hung on an array of cycle accessories. Some were wound like a coil, some were like a U metal Loop. We settled on the U metal loop that looked promisingly stronger. Now , we were ready!

We were excited and traveled a long way across our home , to a lake. We were very excited that we had covered such a distance on our first ride. It was time to go back and as we did, we dawned upon the realization about the science of uphill and downhill drives. All the time we never noticed was that , we had ridden downhill. As we progressed , I started panting and heaving. Successfully I managed to reach home  alternating between pedaling and walking with our bikes. Who said biking was easy. It is good that , a hobby such as this could increase your body's endurance. But , cycling reminded us of our childhoods. As I held my handlebar and moved smoothly , soaring through the wind, flashes of my childhood and my small red bike flashed on my eyes. These inanimate objects are so full of life I thought to myself. Feeling happy, tired , exhausted and satisfied , we carried our bikes to our apartments and laid them to rest for the night! 

Anything that brings us joy is a thing to treasure is it not?!
