Now then. I have been riding to work every day. I find myself losing sight with how much riding a bike changes everything. Fact of the matter is that the the awesome because a little more common. For instance I have witnessed a week of sundowns and enjoyed the crisp cool that comes with the end of the day from a stress free vantage point, but yet I do not appreciate it nearly as much as I should.
With work and life always going I have the luxury of at times 40 mins a day to just ride in the quiet of the day. Sometimes it's less quiet but it still better then fighting the rush hour traffic and the angry drivers that patrol the roads between where I work and where I live.
Also my little bike rides add so much more to the stories I tell. I got the privilege of taking my wife on a date. We went to our favorite breakfast place and had a wonderful time. We rode our bikes there. It adds a level of fun and overall light heartedness to it. We lock up our bikes and just enjoyed adult conversation with out having to cut up a liitle ones food.
Also by bike small outings with the kiddos gets a lot more exciting. Me and the boy went for a ride to Tim Hortons and got some dynamic cheap treats then rode to a park. Later that week we rode again to the park with swords for a battle royal. The bike just makes things better. Hence the reason I have not posted lately. Any chance I get I jump on my two wheeled steed and just pedal. I suggest if you get a chance you do the same.
