It really does come back

[make_your_move]

I did something today I haven't done in a long time .... I rode my bike. To the market *uphill* about a 1/4 mile from here. I didn't get off and walk it, but I had to stop 3 times. And boy howdy do I feel it in my thighs. I think my bicycle seat needs readjustment because I couldn't extend my legs all the way, which if I recall, you're supposed to be able to do. Had to also plan my grocery shopping so that it fit in a backpack (it did).

But I did it and riding a bike came back to me, almost instantly, yay for muscle (and balance) memory.

The best part ... it was fun. Next week, longer ride.

Good for you, you made me wax nostalgic 'bout my stolen bike!

It sounds like you do need to adjust that seat. Your knees should be just a lil bit bent when your foot is planted on the pedal in it's lowest position. Save your knees and have fun!

I love bicycling! I can't get myself to keep up any form of exercise that involves my just doing the same thing in the same place for day after day. But I can actually use my bike for transportation, and sort of "accidentally" get exercise that way.

amen, Sister

I have been thinking for a while to get my bike fixed and clean up and do the same. thanks for the post - it's inspiring me, doll! Big hugs ~ hope to talk soon.
