Then thought better of it, and displayed the wildflowers only. The bird was only a tiny dot! :-)<BR/><BR/>I encountered two bikers on the trail, made me sort of envious. I don't know what needs to happen to get me a bike. I'd need a personal shopper to get out and just do it for me. Should you ever dare set foot on Vienna ... ;-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260855408191704213.post-86813950747579185092008-04-13T23:20:00.000-07:002008-04-13T23:20:00.000-07:00yes its great fun!yes its great fun!simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329985554257923069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260855408191704213.post-20686200002111202872008-04-13T22:44:00.000-07:002008-04-13T22:44:00.000-07:00i love bike riding. ^_^i love bike riding. ^_^Shadow Lorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15850680077567599540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260855408191704213.post-85286226596096988222008-04-13T22:34:00.000-07:002008-04-13T22:34:00.000-07:00spinning gets the heart rate up higher and reduce...spinning gets the heart rate up higher and reduces the pressure on the legs.<BR/><BR/>Its true that to get better at mountain biking , a road bike helps!<BR/><BR/>Your photos are GREAT!simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329985554257923069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260855408191704213.post-34725363664678371122008-04-13T21:32:00.000-07:002008-04-13T21:32:00.000-07:00I used to only like mountain bikes on bush tracks ...I used to only like mountain bikes on bush tracks and never tried road ones but never imagined it was better exercise with speed than power but it makes sense for knees.
