BICYCLE!!

Jun 22, 2009

For my 52nd birthday my mother bought me a bicycle. Sounds crazy, doesn't it, but its something I really wanted - a 'cruiser bike' - nothing fancy - no hand gears, no hand brakes - just a plain, old-fashioned bicycle with big tires (and a big comfy seat!).

After I had WLS I started dreaming about riding a bicycle again - I have no idea why or where that came from - maybe somewhere deep inside me it was one of those 'goals' that I needed to reach? Whatever it was I am so happy with my new 'toy' and love riding it.

Right now I don't go very far (or very fast) - I was very wobbly at first since I hadn't ridden a bike in 30+ years, but each time I go out I have more confidence and it feels so wonderful to have the wind in my face and that feeling of total freedom riding thru the neighborhood.

So if you have a specific goal in mind upon reaching goal (or getting close) go for it!
