I’ve always liked biking. When I was a kid, I used to bike in our backyard. We had a little bike with those training wheels and there was a time that those training wheels came off so I was learning with one of my hands against the wall, trying to make myself balance on the bike. It worked for me! Haha. And growing up, I used to borrow bikes from different neighbors. It seemed to be the ‘in’ thing in the 90s. There were a lot of kids with bikes and bikes with sidecars attached to them. Those were fun to ride. Anyhow, my mom and stepdad decided to get a couple of bikes for their exercise. Though it seems like I am mainly the one who gets to use one of the bikes when I am home on weekends.
So yeah, this is the bike I use. Been using them mainly on Sunday afternoons when the sun is about to set. I bike around the neighborhood for 30 minutes. The only tricky part is avoiding dogs and children who are learning how to bike or are running around. The feeling of going up to the gate makes my legs work harder because it’s an uphill ride. That’s a huge challenge for me since I am physically unfit. *lol* Oh well. But at least I get to have fun because it’s not like riding an exercise back. On an exercise bike you don’t see anything else but the things around you and that makes me impatient. When I am on an actual bike, I see my neighborhood and the sun setting down gradually. The wind in my face is also a welcome feeling which I won’t get inside a gym. 
I will try to wake up early for this next time. But for now, I shall savor the Sunday afternoons biking around.
