I made a post the other day about getting started with biking and you all were super supportive. Well, over the weekend I went out and bought a tire pump, helmet, and bike lock for my roommate’s bike and today I took it for my first “adventure.” It was super low key, I just biked to my local library to pick up a book and biked back. About 2.5 miles (4km) total. It was honestly a lot harder than I imagined but I’m still super excited. I have a neuromuscular condition too, that affects my leg muscles especially, and haven’t biked in years, so this is an achievement in that regard, too. Like “ha, take that, I can do more than just walk!” Just the first adventure of many, and now I’m celebrating with some curry and a cookie :)

Thanks for the support everyone; I look forward to continuing my cycling with the support of this community!
