For several months, I've been wanting to buy a bicycle. I finally bought one this morning, just a few days after the Biden Bucks arrived in our bank account.
I'm less than a month away from my 69th birthday, and this is the first time I've ridden a bicycle in 40 years. I knew I'd have a rough time, but I'm not in as fine shape as I thought I was. It's about 1.5 miles from the bicycle shop where I purchased the bike to our place in Magatas. I honestly thought I'd be able to go the distance.....but no such luck. I didn't get far before I was completely winded and unable to go farther.
My wife and I put the bicycle in the car, and we drove home. I see now that it will take several days of riding before I'll be able to go any good distance to speak of.
Slowly but surely....a little more each morning.
