I love bicycling. Where ever I go, I ride my bicycle: visiting my friends, shopping, or just looking around the city. Bycicling makes you healthy and happy. It was 1992 when I started bicycling. I bought a mountain bike - not an expensive one. What mattered was I could ride it around the city. On weekends, I went farther to the edge of plantations or the nearby woods. I had several friends who were also interested in bicycling. We went together, especially on weekends. Photo is mine.

Upon seeing this discussion. I've now missed my bicycling. I used to do that before. My bike right now is already in the junkyard.

I guess it's easy for you to buy a new one.

@yanzalong For now, I'm not interested yet because I don't have much space to park a bike.

A good photo of you Yanza. I am glad you enjoy the cycling. I do not have one now, but when I was young, I loved riding my bike.

I used to cycle as well. I sold my bike as I needed some money urgently. So, I now do the jogging only.

@toniganzon Yes, it is. It's usually slippery after the rain, I think.

@yanzalong It's good if you have a mountain bike but not good if you have a road bike. Would be too slippery.

I wish I got more into biking when I was a kid, but I always had bad luck and got into accidents haha and these days my knees just would not allow that. It seems so fun though

@yanzalong Yeah I sprained my wrist pretty badly when I was kid. My first time every riding a bike, my dad pushed me down a hill and I didn't know how to slow down or break and I skinned my shins and arms. It was so bad haha

@DesirousDreamer Why did your dad push you? Didn't he know that it was a slope before you? Actually similar accident happened to me. I got bruises all over my face.

I used to enjoy cycling too. Then I got into an incidend where the pedal broke while I was in the highway. I got scared since then. That is a good hobby of you though. You are able to get to places, exercise and no cost for gas

Bike accident often happens. Some fell off, some others were hit by other vehicles. Never forget to wear helmets.

Yes, that's true. I prefer mountain biking because by it, I can go off road following the trails in the jungle.

I don't have a bicycle and when I was learning to ride I borrowed it from my cousin and I remember I once rode a camel bicycle which had a bell next to the handlebar.

In Texas there aren't many bike paths, so I don't always see a lot of people on bikes, just kids. I think it's great that you are still riding a bike. I would love to also.

Cycling is fun and I just love it. I cycle couple of times in the morning for exercise purpose. Sometimes I go to the work cycling but that's rare. I wish it was convenient for us to ride cycle here in the traffic. I would have gone everywhere cycling.

If the city where you live is flat, cycling to the oeffice is good.

@arunima25 that's right. That's why I choose mountain biking.

@yanzalong It's flat but it has the worst traffic in the world. Also, there is no separate track for cyclists and that creates a lot of inconvenience.
