Bicycling/Cycling is one of the things i really felt proud of learning as a kid. It took some time for me to learn (initially with help of some extra side wheels) and at the time it was really hard to fathom how anyone could ever balance a cycle.....it really was something extraordinary to understand and yet such a simple task. Then when i did learn, i used to race a lot with my friends emulating the MotoGP races watched back and constantly commentating about the lead, no of laps,etc.
I am really glad i did not get over cycling, n turn to motorcycling-riding a bike, becoz it really helped me to exercise. Used to go to Junior College on my cycle. Everyday i would time myself from home to college, managed to cover the approx 4 km stretch in roughly about 7 minutes, less traffic helped the cause. At that time, was really interested in mountain biking and also going fast for short periods especially when going to college.
Later,when i heard about Lance Armstrong and his comeback, Tour de France, the sport of cycling just fascinated me even more. Irrespective of whether Armstrong take performance enhancing drugs or not, what he did was truly greatly inspirational. Got to watch the Tour on TV when vacations for college were on and my interest with cycling grew. Although have not been cycling right now(dont even have a cycle right now), it is something that is really fascinating, one of the first real things i learned to do to go to far away places so as to say. I borrow my friends cycle once in a while for cycling. I think one of my best memories with many of my school friends has been when cruising around on our cycles although it was quite rare.I did buy a mountain bike back in 2014, and been cycling, still continue to enjoy.
