Well today after 13 or more years I got back on a bicycle and went for a ride. My bike still has a puncture so I borrowed Nic's bike and went out when Trent came home from work.
I loved it! I loved being back on a bike. I was concerned that I would fall off but it turns out the saying 'you never forget how to ride a bike' is true. I will definitely get the puncture in my tyre fixed so on the days I don't run I can go out riding.
I am still not 100% convinced that a bike helmet will prevent anything happening to my head if I was to have an accident. I may as well put a child's foam booster seat on my head, would do the same thing! I know it is law etc... to wear one but still have no idea how it will protect my head. Maybe I feel this way because of wearing a motorbike helmet which covers your entire head. Fingers crossed I never need to worry about it.
