Bicycles don't need gas and cyclists don't need to pay to get into most parks. They can also go where motorized vehicles can't.
I started biking so I could go to the beach and other places for free. A new bike costs money but it can quickly pay for itself by saving you money. Some people get a bike instead of paying for a car and car insurance.
It's Relaxing
Cycling to parks and beaches felt great. It was relaxing and I enjoyed it more than driving. I also noticed that it was good for my heart and lungs. My resting heart rate and breathing slowed down. A strong heart does not need to beat as many times.
You'll Get in Shape Fast
Riding a bicycle starts off as a low-impact exercise that requires very little effort or skill. It is easy for me to start up again in the spring after taking 7 months off. Biking up hills gave me large rock-hard leg muscles and I lost inches of belly fat. While biking to beaches I got in the best shape of my life without trying.
You can turn it into an expert-level exercise by increasing the distance, the number of hills, and your speed. As you get good at it you will begin to look like an athlete.
After doing it for a few weeks you probably will not want to stop.
Start With Positive Thinking
If you think you can, you can. The first thing you need to do is to believe you can do it. Negative thinking holds you back. Positive thinking helps you to take action.
Getting in shape so I could bike 37 miles in 3 hours was fairly easy. Most people could do it. The hard part was convincing myself it was possible. You don't succeed unless you try and you don't try when you think it is impossible.
For years I told myself I could not do it. Now I think it is easy. I wish I started biking long distances as a hobby 10 years earlier. Lots of ordinary people do it for fun and relaxation. Tell yourself that biking for 2 hours is easy. Start assuming that you can do it. Then try it.
