History Part I

Today I did 1 hour of in-door cycling. It sucks, but since it's winter and I wanna get to the summer still in shape and not to "recover" it when it gets warmer, so ... in-door cycling with German audio lessons in order not to get bored!

2005 was a very hard year, huge lost still being digested., but I increased my physical shape (at least).

Sports is something that can be fun and I had some opportunities to see that, so I decided to write about it and how I got addicted to bikes.

When I was 8 years old I started to swim. 3 years after I joined the school team swimming 400 m at the state championship. After going to live in Spain I joined the school basketball team, not really impressive results, but it was fun. Never stopped swimming.

All that time, bikes were present, as in the life of any kid! A bike is your car, is your toy and a reason to get to your friends. Bike at the neighbourhood! I had a Bianchi road bike 1973 (see the picture for a similar bike, but not mine)! 10 speeds Shimano gears. Really a nice bike! Same model that won many editions of the Tour de France and the Giro di Italia!! Just got to know that now, by that time it was "my bike" and that's all. No competitions, only races in the street with the friends and I was not allowed to change the gears since it was the only race bike in the races hehehehehe

Unfortunatelly the time and the salt from the sea (I was leaving in the beach by that time) consumed by old bike. Wish I still had it! Would keep as a museum part!

That's part of the history, I'll continue later on!
