Bicycle season has begun

Written by Gerard on Friday 20 March 2009

As the weather here improves, plans are afoot get a little more exercise into our routines. And possibly a slighty better diet, but more on that later.

It started as an effort to get the kids to school quicker - letting them take their scooters and bikes in the morning. Then last week, we gave the shed a clear out, dusted off the adult bikes, reinflated the tyres and headed back out on the road again.

Cycling is such a low-impact form of exercise. For me, after I've been running for a while, my leg starts to hurt terribly from the thudding about. Cycling avoids that.
