My Joy - Harlom Bullet(Zoom collections)

What else can a man give to me that will surpass the joy I obtain from riding my bike? Harlom Bullet is my happiness, sitting on it to ride around town makes me feel special.

I developed a love for riding when I was eight. There is a hill by our house where I often ride down. Since I didn't know how to paddle but had developed a little balance, I could just sit and the bike, boost myself by pushing my leg on the floor and there I go. I used to have fun riding down the hill until the day I discovered I was only having fun, but no gain. I visited one of my friends, Michael whose brothers also have a bike. This is my lovely bike:

The youngest of his brothers taught me how to ride a bike. I knew riding down the hill was fun, but no gains from riding were attributed. I won't start to mention the advantages of riding as there must have been a lot of them made in several publications in the #cycling community. His bike name is Salcano Baki Bike, under the Salcano collections while mine is Harlom Bullet from the Zoom collections.

One thing I love my bike for is the fact that I can switch gears and it's a very fast one. The gear switch is easy and can be done by just clicking the gear button on the handle.

I don't participate in any former racing. I only do a normal street race with my friends on weekends when we are free from school activities. But I have used this bike for months now and it's still strong. I maintain it every two or sometimes three-week intervals.

The last time I suffered a sluggish and stressful ride because I didn't discover the tire wasn't fully pumped take it to the vulcanizer to do the job.

I normally ride my bike to school most time. I have saved most of my riding activities on the #strava app. I use my bike to ride down to school whenever I don't have money to pay for transportation costs to school. Most times I suffer discomfort due to sweat whenever I arrive at school, but I have burned some calories and it's good for my body. Below are my recorded activities on my different riding events.

I don't only ride because of its health importance, I just love that feeling of riding a bike. I miss my good friend, Equinox who promised to teach me stunts but has traveled out of the state where he got admission to study computer engineering. I now ride with people of my level, normal floor riding, with no skills other than a paddle and stand.

I'm happy to find out about this community, #cycling, where I can see other riders who share the same motives as I do. I'm happy and will be very grateful if I'm admitted into the #cycling community as I believe I will be a changed and inspired rider when I associate with colleagues here.
I hope to always aim at achieving the community goals. I am Godwin Zacchaeus from Nigeria, and I remain @captainman on #hive.
Thanks for reading my #intro post into the #cycling community.

Circling or bike riding is both fun and health activity. Personally, I ride a motorbike so I don't stress myself of pedalling like you are doing on a bicycle.

Great experience you shared here.

Thanks man.
I tried learning motorcycle riding but it was scary for me.
Bicycle riding lesson was easier for me. Today, I enjoy riding and it's my number hobby on the list.

Wow! I love your enthusiasm. For me, I wish I had a bike tutor as soon as possible. It is one exercise I would want to experience

Thanks for checking up my post.
Haha, my bike tutor is a very young boy you wouldn't imagine. But he is skilled in riding, now I am even getting better than him, result of constant practice.
