It’s taken a lifetime of bicycling discontent to reach the conclusion that I am not a cyclist. I’ve had several bikes, and have enjoyed the occasional ride, but not enough to overcome the discomfort of shoulder, head and neck strain, not to mention the pain in the rear. Who designs bike seats What are they thinking C’mon.
Since I am now in my forties… …ahem… …I am somewhat more humble than I have been in years past, and have embraced come to terms with the fact that I am not a nimble athlete. It pleases me to learn that there is a bike for riders like me. Middle aged, sit-at-a-desk-all-day, non-nimble-athlete types. It’s called a comfort bike. Comfort! Now that’s what I’m talking about. That has me written all over it. Finally! I can sit upright with no weight on my shoulders, so I don’t have to strain my neck to hold my head up. I can enjoy the scenery as I peddle on by. Not only that, I can put my feet on the ground without having to get off the seat. And, to put icing on the cake, look what I found –a WeeRide for my wee rider. He sits safely in front of me and sees what I see. He’s a part of the action, and we both like that quite alot.
Look at us go! The bike even comes with a bell. See My little smartie is busy letting everyone know that we’re on our way. Ring-ring!
