My alternative exercise

Saturday, June 20, 2009

For some time, I’ve considered bicycling as my alternative exercise to break the walking boredom. Finally, I decided to try it, despite the discouragement from wifey being a dangerous exercise. Hence, I bought a new bicycle. It’s not an expensive but one of the cheapest - less than P3,000 ($64) only. Actually, I saw one that I like with a price of P15,000 ($320), but I had second thought. I’d like to determine first whether this exercise is for me or not before buying a better and expensive unit. So, I let a night passed and thought it over. When I woke the following morning, I decided on buying the low end unit only. Should I decide not to continue biking or upgrade the bike to a high end unit, I would just give or donate this bike away; and, it wouldn’t break my heart.

First, I named my bike as “BikePot”. Then, I rode it to try on how the 16 gears work. It’s the first time I used a bike with gears. It’s been a long long time since I last rode a bike. He he he . . .

I broke in my new bike around UP Diliman oval last Sunday afternoon. There, I met some bikers who gave me some tips and advices, especially on how to use the gears.

Offhand, I think I would love this exercise. But, I’d keep walking as my main exercise.
