So it's Chinese New Year, everything is closed since Friday, will reopen on Thursday, enjoying some time outside!
Long story short, 18 months ago I got a bike to help with exercise and also shopping since I didn't want to get a car when we moved here because I wanted to walk more, public transportation is also pretty good and taxis cheap. I picked a tricycle with a big basket in the back and small in front so carry grocery would be easy. I didn't plan on not being able to bike...because "you never forget how to bike" is just a big lie! Almost 18 months ago I just couldn't bike, my balance was gone, with my pride, I did feel like a failure.
So here, weather was great on Sunday, knees not hurting too much, I decided to try again.
When I got the bike I pictured myself biking with my hair in the wind....you know "freedom style" well, hair is almost gone to do that effect, but I was able to stay on the bike, didn't fall and it all went well! we biked around 5 miles, went to the trail near the river and even stopped at a store : for a first time it was pretty good. Can't wait to have an other day with no rain!! Hopefully tomorrow!
