OUTDOORS INSPIRED

Bicycling 
On or off the road bicycling can be fun and increase your overall fitness.  

I have loved bicycling ever since my brother taught me how to ride a bike at the age of six.
My family lived outside of town, and the only way I could see and play with my friends was to bicycle to their house.
Later on I used my bicycle to go on long adventures along the roads and trails near my house.  Eventually, I used my bicycle as a means of travel to and from work.
