T is correct in describing Geneva as a Swiss Paradise. <br /><br />Cycling is such an amazing sport. It's easy on the joints and can be done at any fitness level. I wish I'd taken it up earlier on, when I was a teenager and especially when I was at Stanford. <br /><br />At Stanford, 90 percent of the students owned a bike, as parking was difficult around campus and it happens to be one of the largest campuses in the US. But I was intimidated by my lack of skill and what I believed was a clumsiness that would embarass me in front of classmates. So instead I walked through the throngs of bikers zooming from class to class. It almost felt like communist China.<br /><br />Then when I married Dean, he laughed at my fear of bikes and pushed me to give it a try. Now I love our rides in East Hampton, the feel of the wind in our face as we ride fast, and the general levity of the sport. Now, as you well know, I am an avid spinner, and so I cycle indoors. It took me a little while to overcome my fear to try spinning classes too. But now I climb on those bikes and cannot explain how much I relish the freedom that the rides bring to me at the end of each session.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061665328242748532.post-53032278577626354182011-08-06T07:44:55.498-04:002011-08-06T07:44:55.498-04:00I enjoyed learning when I was little using my cous...I enjoyed learning when I was little using my cousins' bicycles We used to go on for hours until our little behinds ache.As an adult I bought 2 bicycles for my wife and myself,and spent a memorable autumn cycling on the C&O in Washington DC.That magnificent winding trail between the canal and the Potomac surrounded by the burnt colors of leaves will always stay in my memory lane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061665328242748532.post-30384186887257986722011-08-03T14:55:36.770-04:002011-08-03T14:55:36.770-04:00Really enjoyed reading this one :) HanaReally enjoyed reading this one :) Hanahana samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468851242404239391noreply@blogger.com
