Cycleing

7 years ago I bought my first bike in years. It was a Univega Beach Cruiser, single speed with coaster breaks. I was so out of shape I weighed about 250 lbs. I had trouble making it up the smallest hills because of how out of shape I was. I was able to turn things around. Lost weight and work out and stuff like that.

Tonight I went on a bike ride with my family...I rode the same beach cruiser and we went on the same trail that used to cause me problems....now I have no problem biking that trail. It made me happy to see the difference in how easy it is for me now.

Last year I bought a Masi Alare that link shows you this year's model last years model is red...so my bike is this really nice red and black. ( Here is a photo of someone else's 2006 Masi Alare. I have clipless pedals and it is so lightweight. I love my bike it is so fast. I know there are better bikes out there, but when this fish wanted a bike that was a nice bike for me to use for Tris this fit the bill and I have fallen in love with it.

There will always me a soft spot in my heart for my beach cruiser because that is what I used when I started to get fit again. I don't see me getting rid of either bike anytime soon.
