Bicycle Riding on Father’s Day
I hope everyone had a happy Father’s Day. My family asked me what I’d like to do on “my” day. It didn’t take me long to decide on the frugal idea of going for a family bicycle ride.
There are some great bicycle/hiking trails that rim the bay near us. Besides the natural beauty of the bay, there was wildlife to observe, and the joy of being active with my family.
The cardiovascular advantages of bicycle riding have been written about in many places. Bicycle riding is considered a low impact exercise. As with any exercise, you need to ride regularly to get the most benefit from it.
Bicycle riding is also one of the more economical ways to get somewhere. As fuel costs increase, more and more people are riding and commuting by bicycle. There currently is a problem in our area where public transportation cannot accommodate all the bicycles that people are trying to bring with them.
On this Father’s Day, I just wanted to get out with the family and have fun.
Stumble it!

Thanks, RC.
We did have a great day and it hardly cost anything.
I hope you had a good Father’s Day, as well.
