How did your cycling start?
#1
Hi,

So I've had a long nostalgic discussion about cycling and marathons and ironman events with my mates last night. We spoke about cycling laws to carbon frames and everything in between. One part of our discussion was really fun and it was remembering what got us into cycling? Most of us just had the "my neighbor had a bike and I wanted it too as a kid' or 'my elder brother already had one' Do you have any fun thing that got you into cycling?

Mine was on BMX as a kid. It was tough for me to push, and I always wanted to jump curbs like they were a pump track.

Didn't work out too well.

About ten years ago, I became a cyclist commuter, and haven't looked back.

In about 1945 Dad bought be a sidewalk bike with solid rubber 10 in wheels and a V belt drive. I learned to ride that bike all by my self. I dont think it took any time at all.
