Are you hooked on cycling? It certainly is habit-forming!

Do you remember when you first knew that cycling had snagged you? It didn\’t take me long at all; less than one mile, in fact!

Maybe being on three wheels was a factor. I wasn\’t trying to learn both balancing and pedaling at the same time. If I had started on a two-wheeler, the cycling addiction wouldn\’t have come upon me nearly as fast, I think.

When I moved on to two wheels, I was already a cycling junkie. This made the inevitable frustration of learning to manage a BI-cycle much easier to bear. The process repeated itself when I first had the road bike.

Being a beginner on two wheels can be frustrating. If you\’re finding that it seems impossibly difficult, go easy on yourself. Be patient. Take your time. Don\’t give up on yourself too soon. Remember that every cyclist was a beginner at one time.

So — are you hooked? Did riding a bicycle grow on you over time? Or was it Love at First Mile?
