sometimes all it takes is a simple bike ride to enjoy life a bit more. The other evening, my girlfriend and I hopped on our bikes and rode downtoen for the farmers market. We didn't buy anything, we were just checking it out. Well, next time we are bringing some cash because there were some great looking veggies there. Also, last sunday, we got on our trusty bikes and off we pedaled to get some fried chicken. We brought the chicken home, in her basket, and watched the Giant game on TV. What a perfect sunday! (Except the Giants losing in the final seconds). Anyways, we love our bikes and we wouldn't trade them for the world!

I envy you! 
I am 30 years old and I never learned how to ride a bike. Oh, I know how to rollerskate, in-line skates, ice skate, skateboard...but I never learned how to ride a bike. I tried so hard when I was a kid but I guess bicycles and me do not go well together
It must be nice, going somewhere and doing some sight-seeing without the fuss of driving a car.

Wow! No offense, but, I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't know how to ride a bike. Maybe you could try again now that you are an adult, you may find it easier to pick up. Also, I've seen sweet 3 wheel bicycles where the people seem to be laid back relaxing as they pedal on down the road. :-)

I used to cycle 12 miles to work every day. The caretaker of the school I taught in mended my bike a few times. I used to cycle along quiet country roads and along peaceful rural cycle paths. I used to have a stressful meeting on a Monday afternoon after school. Cycling home I would drop all the stress on my way home. I miss riding on my bike which I still have in my shed. I have a disabled son. If I had more space in my shed I would buy a bike trailer. I have many happy memories of all the cycling I used to do. I used to get the train and then cycle the Viking Coast Trail and the White Cliffs of Dover cycle paths. Yes, a simple bike ride is one way to really enjoy life. I have a friend that is really keen on cycling.

Wow! Twelve miles! That is far, for me anyways. That is almost twenty five miles round trip! Nice job! I rode twelve miles round trip the other day and was pooped when I got home. Gotta get back in shape. Bicycling will do it for me. My dog is almost 13 years old. I have thought of building him a trailer so that he could come with us. Maybe you could get some kind of collapsable trailer for your son.

Biking is a great sport. There are lots of different types of biking so it really appeals to the general public. Plus almost everyone has a bike growing up.

Yeah, I've been riding as my main mode of transportation for a while now. My girlfriend just got her bike. It's cool, an old schwinn! We're loving it!
