Bicycle!

(While reading this post jut think in the back of your mind the Queen song Bicycle Race.)

At my ward, after Ward Prayer, some peopleget together for Bike Gang which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. People all get together and terrorize Provo on their bikes. I joined, borrowing a really nice girl's bike, for the first time this week and we rode down to and long the Provo River almost all the way to Utah lake. It was so much fun. There were about ten or twelve of us and it felt good to be out, active and with great people.
I love biking.
Today, after a great nap, I borrowed Kyrie's Schwinn and went on a ride for about forty minutes. I did my first bit of solo road riding. I was scared at first, but I wa careful to stay well in my lane and actually got kind of a rush from crossing the street with traffic. It was so fun and a little liberating. I was able to get awawy from my usual five block radius all by myself. I felt independent. Even living on my own I don't feel that way often. I have to ask for rides to the store, I work with my best friend, I go to churh with my roommates. Even once I borrowed Jared's truck and took my friend up to Draper to get a bikini wax (yes, it was in fact hilarious), and I felt a little indpendent, but I still had to borrow the truck.
I love biking.


Y'all hav probably noticed that this blog is more propaganda aimed towards Mom, attempting to convince her a bike would be an awesome idea for me. I ave already calledher about it and I don't want to be annoying. This, I guess, could be considered passive aggressive badgering. I love you Mom =]

Just like I love biking.

  1. I bought my own bike my 2nd year at BYU. It was fun. Then it got stolen. I haven't had a bike since then. :(
    My advice-get something 2nd hand, cheap, and buy and good U-lock.
    Your bikini waxed or your friend's?
