It’s finally staring us in the face. Spring time is about to make its official entrance. We’ve had us one brutal Winter this year, but every year at this time some of the same things happen.
There’s always that individual who is suddenly out riding, and wearing way too little in the way of clothing. Let’s face it, 55 is not 75!
Some of us haven’t managed to do as much over the past months as we would like, let along should. It shows. But we pull on the riding clothes and go out for another lesson in the pain of out-of-shapeness. Bravo.
In the bike shop the atmosphere is changing. We see a few faces we haven’t seen in a while. We hear the phrase, “I’m thinking about a new bike, and…” just a bit more often.
We also hear, “I haven’t been on my bike since last September? So I haven’t really ridden it since then? So do you think it needs a tune up? And do you have time? Are you real busy?”
Answers, Yes. Yes, And no, but that won’t last, don’t put it off a second longer, or you will regret it severely.
It’s this vicious cycle. We get out of shape, so we don’t get the bike work done, and the bike needs work so we don’t ride it, so we get out of shaper, so we don’t get the bike work done, so…
Break the cycle! Get off the fence Hamlet! Get the work done, and put your backside in the saddle! It will be painful, but you’ll thank yourself come June.
Just a thought.
