RE: Why I Chose to Start "Steeming" / Introduction
Welcome to steemit, fellow yooper! :-)
I'm down here in the Iron Mountain area. I really need to get back on my bike again, I'm usually too tired after working outside all day on my garden and other projects. I was doing pretty good until garden season started. These old legs and knees don't like me much when I first start riding, but it slowly gets better the more I ride. It's hell getting old, but it certainly beats the alternative! :-)
I'm following you.
I need to get down that way to hike piers gorge again, I love that area! If you're having knee pain while riding, try and change to an easier gear and pedal fast and easy vs slow and hard. That is if you aren't on a single speed bike, if you are on a single speed, you can always get a smaller front chainring, or bigger rear cog 🌷🌺🍀
It's a multi-speed bike. When the hills get tough, I get off and walk. :-)
Ok, gotcha. Keep riding, you will get stronger! Even if you have to ride mid-day when you still have energy, try and make time for it! It will ensure that you continue to age gracefully ✌ have a great day @amberyooper !
