It’s only taken 10 months but I’ve finally plucked up the courage to ride my new bike!
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good summer bike ride as much as the next person but I’m not the most confident in the world when it comes to cycling. My top three things that fill me with dread are:
1. Stopping – short legs are a hazard, especially with a cross bar. I like to know I can stop quickly if needed without causing any unnecessary injuries.
2. Cycling on a road. This may entail using only one hand if required to turn. I am in awe of people who are able to cycle with NO hands!
3. Going up and down kerbs. This is guaranteed to cause a fatal wobble that will only ever result in me ending up in a heap.
Any who, I enjoyed spending time with my hubby and son out and about on our bikes today in the gorgeous sunshine ☀️
It did make me think though…how many km would you need to cycle to match a 5k run? From my brief research on google it seems that it is about the ratio of 1:3 so for every mile/km run, you would need to cycle 3km to match it. I think I might investigate this some more…🤔
