I went bike riding today with 2 friends, Becky and Jim. We drove to a place called Riegelsville just beside the Delaware river and rode on a road that runs almost parallel to the river. Nice view along the way. The last time I rode a bicycle was in 1998 on my good old blue mountainbike. This time I rode the extra bike that Jim had but it was a man’s bike and eventhough the seat was set to the lowest possible, my toes just barely touched the ground. I’m really glad I didn’t take a tumble or had any near accident. We rode altogether 15 miles (24km). We had to climb 2 hills abt 3/4 of the way and I was about to call it quits but Becky beat me to it, so we turned around, instead of going another 4 miles to the next town, Milford. We rode back and I strained a muscle trying to keep my balance while stopping and waiting for a truck to pass. But good thing, a little more pedalling “unstrained” the muscle. Well, I know a lot more muscles are going to be real sore tomorrow, I can feel the soreness starting now!

Oh..and Becky gave me her old bicycle Tomorrow, I’ll have to go get a bicycle helmet (I was riding without one today), bicycle lock, and a bicycle pump.

How wonderful..a free bicycle!
