My New Bike

I bought a new bike (or a cycle, bicycle, whatever, but ‘bike’ does feel a kind of superlative form). It’s a cheap one compared to it’s European sibling. But it’s orange-ish, has gears and rides like butter. Also it’s punctured at the moment :(

I’ve always dreamt of being a runner, but somehow that activity has never struck a chord with me. Maybe because it’s hard and maybe because I’ve never actually enjoyed doing it as much as I thought I would. Maybe cycling is that thing which I’ve been looking for, for so many years.

It’s not necessary to always take the hard path right? Sometimes the easier path is better, as long as you are getting to your destination (which is weight loss at the moment). So this is what I envision and plan to do.

Wake up in the morning and ride around on my bike for an hour. And this is strictly not supposed to be an exercise activity. It’s suppposed to be a leisure activity. I’m gonna give my body and soul fall the chance to fall in love with it. I’ll take my Da Vinci leather back with along for the ride and in it, my camera, maybe a book, a water bottle and some Sneakers maybe. That’s it!

I’ll cycle around the city as both of us wake up each morning.
