I bought my bike in 1987 when I was in college. I lived downtown and riding a bike is a great way to get to summer jobs. Then in ‘93 I bought a car and the bike was relegated to storage.
Fast-forward more than 15 years and I get it out, tune it up, and start riding it again. I live in the suburb of a major Canadian city now and I like to ride my bike for exercise and for transportation. My kids are proficient riders themselves now so we ride around our neighbourhood as a family. We ride to the park, on nearby trails, and sometimes just to get ice cream!
I installed a computer on my bike to track how far and how fast I ride. It tells me my avg. speed, max speed, trip time and it estimates calories burned. It even tells me the temperature. I can't say how many km 's I have ridden since I forgot to write down the odometer reading when I had to change the battery on the computer last week but it was a lot...
