Romancing the Bike - Tapa blanda

Peggy Badgett began reacquainting herself with the unparalleled freedom of riding a bicycle in her fourth decade of life. Her affair began innocently enough, after an unpromising finish in a local triathlon. She began to attend indoor cycling classes, and with the encouragement of a seasoned cyclist who became her coach and mentor, began to ride her first true racing bike. The relationship between Peggy and the tubes attached to the skinny tires grew from tenuous first outings to long sunny summer days. She fell in love with her bike. Touring, racing, and commuting have become an integral part of her life, in addition to introducing her to a brand-new group of friends she dearly treasures. This is the account of her adventures, from learning how to stay upright, to racing in time trials, and finally riding up mountains.
