My First Cycle – Ron Adjei

With the Velo fast approaching only 3 months away and running out of excuses as temperatures rise and all the gear possibly available now purchased, I decided to take the bike out for its first spin. Leaving the warmth and security of the spin bike in the gym and getting out on the open road!

In cycling terms I am a novice, a BMX and mountain bike kid with no significant cycling experience in my adult years… but how hard can it be, as the saying goes ‘it’s just like riding a bike’?

As someone who is always up for giving things a go and taking on a challenge I was convinced to kick it up a notch and use a road bike with wheels the width of a bread stick and clip in shoes that harness you to a bike tighter then a clam with lock jaw
