| My Trek when fairly new |
I
acquired a new Trek 8.3 DS hybrid two years ago thanks to the kind generosity of a good friend. I had not seriously ridden a bike since my
college days when I sprinted around town streets and country roads on a Fuji
twelve speed road bike I bought my freshman year of college. I sold that bike
at a yard sale twenty-six years ago.
As I
started relearning how to ride a bike I realized that bikes and bike
accessories have changed over the past three decades and that I had some
catching up to do. I also learned that my body, over three decades older than
when I last seriously cycled, needed a little more tender loving care than
before, both during and after rides.
In a
series of blog posts I will release Tuesday afternoons, this being the first, I will share and reflect on some of
the things I have learned after my first two years of cycling as I eagerly
begin my third. I am calling the series “Spinning Wheels (Lessons from Two
Years of Cycling)”. Watch for my posts
here, on my blog, Summit to Shore. I
will also be announcing new posts via facebook updates with links to new posts.
