Cycling

I still remember the first time I rode a bicycle without my parents holding on. That feeling of freedom, unexplainable and unforgettable has stayed with me ever since. From that moment on, I took every opportunity to ride, exploring different types and sizes of bikes. No matter which one I was on, the thrill was always the same.

During my teenage years, cycling became a big part of my daily life. Back the, the city I grew up in was not packed with cars like it is today. It felt safer, and I had more free time. I used to ride for hours without a destination, just enjoying the rhythm of the road, the people on the streets buildings under construction, and the warm summer breeze against my face.

Later on, I was introduced to road bikes, and that changes everything. The speed, the distance, it was like discovering a new world. I started riding with my father and brother on weekends. One of our favourite routs took us from the highlands of our city down to the coast, a scenic 60 kilometer ride that was both challenging and incredibly fun.

Then life happened. Between university and working long hours, I stepped away from cycling of several years. But recently, I got back on the saddle, and just like that, all those feelings and memories came rushing back. These days, I ride a mountain bike with clip in pedals, and I have to say, they have completely transformed my experience. The connection between you and the bike feels stronger, and the ride smoother and more efficient.

I will be sharing more from my cycling experience here, including conversations I have had with fellow riders, tips I have picked up, and lessons learned along the way. My hope is that you will feel inspired to either get back on your bike or give it a try for the first time.

Cycling is more than just a sport, it is a powerful cardiovascular workout, a stress reliever, and a social activity when shared with friends. And while bikes can get pretty high tech these days, you do not need an expensive setup to get started or to enjoy the ride. A few smart choices and accessories can make a big difference and that is exactly what I will help you discover here.
