I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike
It’s tapering time for the Chicago Marathon, so I won’t be going on any more long runs. I can’t just be a total slacker, though, so last night I hopped on the bike and took a nice, leisurely (~10mph) ride over to Target to get a new bike lock. I definitely need some reflectors and a new headlamp, so my vintage Schwinn Catalina doesn’t get crumpled by a car (I’m still shopping for a road bike, so for now I’m just pedaling around on my electric blue cruiser).
I’m not gonna lie, I kind of didn’t think that cycling would kick my butt like it did. I know it works different muscle groups, but wow. I’m definitely feeling it this morning. At least I don’t feel like I’m slacking!
