Marshmallow man
I bought a bicycle yesterday. Not a very flash bicycle - it cost me about $150 from the Warehouse - but adequate to my needs. Today I went for my first ride further than the end of our road, and my first proper bicycle ride since I bought my first motorbike, more than 30 years ago.
I am a wreck. I only rode about two and a half kilometres, but my legs feel like they're made of rubber... painful, painful rubber. It was not an enjoyable experience. Cycling is much, much harder than I remember from childhood. Thank goodness Christchurch is so flat; I shudder to think of trying to cycle around Wellington or Auckland.
I assume that if I do it on a regular basis it will get easier, or at least less like torture. I certainly hope so.
So much pain...
