Bike Addict…Bike Fanatic! How Biking Changed My Life!
Ever since I was a little, I always loved riding bikes. I remember when I was young me and my dad used to go for hours end on long bike trails in sweet home Virginia.
I remember one day it was pouring rain and dad and I had shopping bags over our heads as we let the cool rain hit our skin. I never felt so alive as then.
I now have joined the bike shop world and it is amazing! I have a Specialized Sirrus V. Which I kind of upgraded to be an all-in-one Touring and Trial bike. I also acquired the Trek Marlin 8 with Rock Shox Judy front suspension for my Mountain Bike.
When I ride my Specialized Sirrus V, I feel like a well-oiled machine! I can glide across the road like no one’s business. One time I almost got rear-ended while testing out this very bike at the bike shop! Talk about a close call! That is when I knew this baby girl is it! Such tight clean turns and response time is beyond belief. I love my leisure rides on the Specialized Sirrus V during Spring and Fall time!
When I ride my Trek Marlin 8, you can see me smile like a complete idiot. I mean I get this silly smile on my face as I ride my heart out. I have climbed hills, through small puddles, and all kinds of conditions on this baby and I have to say it gives me the best kick ever all the time. I literally feel so happy, my mind is just blown. I feel the wind across my face and feel the tires running through the rough surface. I am whipping past trees, stumps, and rocks. I feel the pumping of my heart that is about to beat out of my chest! Yeah, mountain biking is a whole new different world and I LOVE it!
In our busy lives, it is nice to find something that is passionate for you. Find a hobby and stick to it! Trust me it is going to help your work life in the long run! Look forward to more bike articles from me in the coming future! Thanks for your time and I look forward to sharing my stories with you all!
