Is This Bike Really Sturdy?

Posted by Zize Bikes. No Comments

 

My car (with bike on the back)

I was not sure what to expect. It has been a while. Riding the bike again was a total adventure. I did have hesitations at first. I mean wouldn’t you be worried about things like getting the right balance back and also the thought of riding through slushy dirt roads of Vermont when you have not been riding for a while?

 

I am glad I remembered to get my bike tuned up. It’s a hassle to wait until you want to ride to make sure everything’s in working order. A strong, efficient, and sturdy bike is very important. And how does one keep it sturdy? It is making sure that everything is perfectly right. That means that all parts must be checked and tuned up. And this goes with the rider as well. You can’t just go out there and start riding without that sense of readiness. Yes, a little exercise or stretching can go a long way.

 

I admit I was a little scared. I had not been riding the whole winter. If wondered if my balance was ok.  At first, it felt a little precarious as I settled on the saddle, found the pedals, and pushed off.  But then, I found it!  The harmony of the body and the spirit.  That’s what I love about riding.

 

Sixty seconds into the ride, I was “back in the saddle,” so to speak.  I felt right at home, and even excited as I cruised past the flowers coming up here and there, the joggers, walkers, and other cyclists.  And I remembered, THIS is why I bike.

Hello friends.  I got good news today. I went to see Zize Bikes  builder in Vermont today and got my first glimpse of our newest addition to Zize Bikes—the Revolution.  It is an awesome xl bicycle! The Revolution  is the first in a series of lower-cost Zize Bikes.  Holds 400 pounds and is a great bike. It is the budget version   of Time of Your Life or A New Leaf, but it is guaranteed to serve its purpose as all Zize Bikes brand. I am so excited about this new product.
On the side note it is the start of the week! How do you feel about Monday? Gotcha. There is an old saying that goes “start the day right”. I think this also applies to the whole week in general. When the going gets tough there are things that really work for me. One of them is:
Positive Self-Talk.  Sounds easy but turning something so hard into something so good takes a little effort. It is just about paying attention to your stream of thought and then catch them whenever you notice something is not right. If your thoughts turn bitter, then it is time to give them a sweet spin. For example when you start thinking “This is going to be a long day” you start saying” This is going to be an interesting day.”

Riding for St Paddy

Biking around the Northeast can be fun during the month of March because we naturally have a humid continental climate. Last year I went out cycling around Burlington and I passed by this store called S.D Ireland which is a local concrete company. They made not only everything alive with music and color but there were costumes and people having fun around making it a memorable feast.What’s really amusing was this parade of honking cement mixers while pipe music was playing.

Later that day the Ireland dancers gathered on the street and started doing step dancing. It was a great sight to see especially because it was composed of performers ages 18 to 60. The green, gold and black stand out. The fun thing about having a bike is the fact that you can just squeeze and park anywhere. I felt radical. There were kids beside me who also brought their bike and it was a great feeling knowing that one has that childlike freedom to go and push those pedals anywhere.

I think last year was memorable and this year’s St Paddy’s day is filled with anticipation. Everyone is really into it!
