LEG POWER

n our lifetime we go through so many experiences, some
forgotten as quickly as they happened and others, well they
stay with us for life. One example of this is the day we learn
to ride a bike on our own. Those feelings of achievement
and the realisation that we now have added freedom with
our bike.
We go everywhere with our bike,
any excuse to ride we are off and
then, as time passes we get our
driving licence and a new best
friend, our first car, arrives.
Somewhere along the way, we
forget all the fun we used to have
on our bike, but we never forget
how to ride!
It is not until you get back onto
your bike that you remember
the joy of being able to meander

through streets and countryside,
or freewheel down steep hills with
your legs sticking out each side,
you forget the freedom, the ability
to literally go anywhere on a bike
and of course, it costs nothing
to run a bike, just leg power and
all the while you are having fun
you are keeping fit without even
noticing (although if you have not
ridden for a while you will notice at
first!)
