• Bicycling is cheap - and full of adventure

    I did my first 23 km bicycle ride yesterday.

    I thought that for the first day of spring I should get out and bicycle some place. My favorite place to go is Southland Mall - which is an 10 KM ride, and then back home which is another 10KM.. (earlier in the day I went shopping on the bike which was 3 km.)

    Along the way I stopped at Wascana Lake in Regina and took some pictures of the sites and people and geese on the lake.


    bicycling is cheap and full of adventure.

    I can't believe how much I missed bicycling over the winter time. It's a time to get out doors, get some fresh air, see the sites and get exercise.

    It's also a cheap way to travel. I spent $1.49 at Southland mall to purchase trail mix for the ride. Better than a car loan!!

    I was pleased that I was able to ride 23 km in one day, and especially at March 20th.. Last year it took me until June or July to before I could go that far on the bike with out passing out.

    This year I plan to travel to Moose Jaw and back, which would be 130 KM in a day. I also plan to do even longer runs, which will take more practice and getting into shape.

      The benefits of bicycling last year - Summer 2008:
    • I lost around 50 lbs
    • My heart was greatly strengthened
    • My leg muscles get strengthened
    • I lowered my cholesterol down to normal
    • I saved a bunch of money on car expenses.
    • I enjoyed the summer probably the most in 25 years.
    • I relieved a ton of stress


    The benefits of bicycling have been absolutely tremendous. For such a low cost transportation, the benefits and enjoyment have been wonderful. I would say that I enjoy riding my bicycle even more than driving my Cadillac CTS.

    During this economic down turn.. why not take your bike, instead of the car.? It will save you money and you'll really enjoy it. (After you get used to it ! )

Interesting...
The roads in Regina, SK are pretty safe.. I drop alot of KMs in the city last year and felt pretty comfortable.

Interesting to hear about others experiences.

I live in Berlin, Germany for now. I go everywhere on a bike because there are lanes. In Ireland I would be killed in a week - the roads at night have no bikes on them. Cities and people need to want it more - exactly like in Berlin and Amsterdam.
