There are so many good reasons to ride a bike! Here are two of my favorites:
- it’s great exercise
- it’s great for the planet
Not to mention saving money on gas, getting some fresh air, seeing the sights and more.
Now for those of you who know me, you might be saying, “But Rachel! You can’t ride a bike!”
Well, that’s true, kind of. My dear friend Trevor is kind and patient enough to take on the task of teaching me how to ride a bike. And I am actually the third twenty-something he has done this with. Last Friday was our first lesson, and I must say, I think I did alright! It felt good. I can feel the inner biker in me coming out! Trevor is a very good teacher; he didn’t even laugh at me! And tomorrow (which is National Bike to Work Day) will be our next lesson. I’m not quite ready to bike to work, or even down the block without help, but I’m working on it!
So hop on your bike and head to work, or running errands, or just fun to enjoy the spring weather! And if you’re like me and basically forgot how to ride - yes, it is possible, I could do it when I was 4 but can’t now – find yourself a patient friend with a good, stable bike.
