Biker's words

My bike is a form of transport that allows me to exercise at the same time. When you’re a mum and you work full-time, finding time to exercise isn’t easy. So I said to myself, why not kill two birds with one stone - travel while exercising. And the risk really paid off, as now I make almost all of my journeys by bike.
