A Bike To Change

Almost exact a year ago, I rented a bike for a day to go around the city of Vancouver. I was shocked to realize how bad I was out of shape! My legs immediately becomes so heavy after pushing the pedals a few times. I felt so powerless.
Today, the fine sunny day just like the day a year ago, I bought a bike for myself! I was thinking about start riding a bike for some time, but it suddenly became strong for the past few days. I went to a local bike shop today hoping if there were any used ones. The shop owner quickly showed me a new bike instead, and he said he would take only 10,000 yen ( about $100.00CAD ) for it. It was a mountain bike with front suspension just like what I was looking for. I usually don't make a quick decision but not this time. I just got it so instantly.
I had a 40 minutes ride with the bike today already. I think it went okay. It wasn't too hard for me. I actually live in a mountain so there are lots of ups and downs if I want to try. I think I am going to enjoy this bike alot. My wife is in doubt that I am actually going to ride the bike. It's funny. Where does she get the idea? We will see..
