My absolute favorite way to exercise is to ride a bicycle. I’ve had times in my life when I’ve been very diligent at it and other times where I only wish I were riding. Now is one of those times. Ever since we moved from Illinois to Oklahoma, I have struggled to make riding a regular part of my life. Unfortunately, the area we live in doesn’t have sidewalks, and the roads aren’t very safe to ride along. People drive too fast, the shoulders on the road are narrow (if they exist at all), and with the hills, visibility can be an issue.

I’ve mapped out a potential route that I can ride, starting my home, so now all I need to do is make time for riding.
