How I got into cycling
Summer 2018I started cycling in the summer of 2018 after a couple of friends talked about their rides. For over 20 years I played soccer to keep the extra pounds off, but it was taking a toll on my body. My knees and lower back were sore and strained from playing on artificial turf.
I was looking for a new, fun, and low impact activity. And if I could do it with my friends, even better. I didn't know much about cycling (I did know how to ride a bike), so through the advice of my close friends, I purchased my first road bike, acquired the right gear, and downloaded Strava.
