“Drivers: You sit behind the wheel of the most advanced personal transport device in the history of the world. All you need to do is apply slight pressure to a pedal with your foot and you are instantly propelled forward at an incredible rate of speed. Some slight side-to-side motions with your hands, or even one hand if you like, steers you almost anywhere your heart desires. At your disposal are turn-by-turn directions to any location on earth. You sit eating snacks in a protected, climate-controlled chamber on top of a seat more comfortable than most kings’ thrones. If something should slow you down temporarily you can almost instantly make that speed up by applying a little extra pressure to that pedal. Simply amazing how far we’ve come.
Cycling! A whole new hobby
So I’ve recently got into cycling. It’s been an awesome way to exercise and super fun.
I picked up a bunch of awesome gear from Amazon:
Giros Savant Road Bike Helmet
Shimano 105 PD-5700 SPD SL Pedal
Shimano SH-R087 Road Bike Shoes – Men’s
Pearl Izumi Attack Short
Pearl Izumi Men’s Quest Jersey
Pretty much everything is working out great! I’m normally a size 9.5US in Nike shoes and went with the 44 Shimano road shoes, I think maybe a 43.5 would have been better, but I’ve used them a lot so it’s too late to return them. Clipping in to the 105 pedals is pretty easy, although I did fall off at a stop light on the first ride! Shorts are great and highly recommended!
