Swing a leg over that saddle
and shed 20 lbs and 30 years. Suddenly you are free. Nothing
to do but make those pedals turn and remember to turn around
and come home again at the end of the day.
Wind buffets you a bit;
you hunker down into the drops and wait for that spring sunshine
to come out. Slather on sunscreen, strip to shirt sleeves
and shorts, and spin those wheels. Rubber tires make a soft
whoosh against smooth pavement and you stand to climb swaying
side to side.
Well most of us
love to ride.

| The
whoosh, clearly audible now, speaks of your power. At the top
you pause, still standing, your pedals held even. You breathe
in fresh air; your chest swells; your quads go wooden for a
moment and then you are going down. You shift to the top chain
ring, lean over the handlebars and study the line on that curve
ahead.
Whether you're 15 or 75
the bicycle puts you in control. You cover distances you'd
have thought unimaginable before the bicycle. A flock of geese
scurry out of your way save one hissing drake; a dog strains
at his leash, jealous of your freedom. Sunlight dances on
water; birds sing; leaves and grasses quicken, green, and
turn golden. All for your pleasure.
|
And yet, it all seems hollow
for you are alone.
Don't ride alone. Come join the rest of the Twin Rivers
Cyclists for one of many rides.
No excuses, please. You
can keep up. We never leave anyone behind.
Come out; give us a try.
You've paid your membership. Now take advantage by meeting
with the rest of us. You'll find someone who rides at your
pace. And soon you, too, will be climbing and whooshing and
frustrating dogs everywhere.
