To Go Bicycle Riding

Do you want to keep fit and to be healthy? Of course, definitely yes. So besides going on a diet, just do more exercises. Besides, just to go bicycle riding. To go bicycle riding is one of the LOHAS.

Have you ever ridden a bicycle on the country road, especially in the nice weather and in the early morning? It's one of my experiences. The air is so pure, and the breeze is so balmy and light. The breeze whispers. It's just like the lover touching your face tenderly. Even the sunshine is so gentle. You'll find the morning has broken. All the world seems full of hopes and happiness. Your heart will be touched deeply.

Have you ever ridden a bicycle to someplace with your family or friends? When my only daughter was just an elementary school student, she rode a bicycle with my friends and me from Sinying to Coral Lake. It's about 20 kilometers. During her teenager, she often rode the bicycle with us to many places. The summer vacation she just graduated from junior high school, she joined the activity of Chinese Youth Corps(救國團) to ride a bicycle from Taitung to Hualien. It's a beautiful coast highway. I believer it gave her an unforgettable remembrance.

To go bicycle riding is not only very easy but also very convenient. You don't need too special equipments. You don't have to spend too much money. You just need a little time and a little energy. Putting on a cap, bringing some water, and wearing your casual clothes, just ride your bicycle to the place you like. No matter it's nearby or farther. Don't hesitate. Next time when you have free time, turn off the TV or the computer, and just go bicycle riding. Let your pressure out of your mind. Enjoy the breeze, enjoy the sunshine, and enjoy the whole nature. An American President Wilson said: "We are not here to sit and think; we are here to do."

People always ask me, "You don't look like over 50 years old and why you retired?" I'll tell you the answer tonight. The answer is to do exercise or to go bicycle riding as often as possible. It will make you healthy and look younger than your age.
