My Bike and I

Standing in the corner of my room is a sturdy piece of metal, a tool that can transform, Finally, the pedals, seat and display are all ready to test my form, The wheels spin like the thoughts in my mind, swirling round and round, The World outside rushes by, whereas I am in pain and housebound. I see possibilities of much to gain with this bike, especially as the rotation of the wheels feels so smooth and easy, While riding through the countryside via the video on my iPad, I suddenly felt queasy, I had to stop, not giving up mind, just ending the session, I felt disappointed as it was my first try, but somehow, I caused my leg a bit of tension. After a short rest, I fuelled my determination to give it my best, Day or night, I was on my bike, feeling the rhythm of my heart thumping in my chest. I pushed myself through the pain, sweating to build strength and stamina, Aches and stresses were noticeably easing, and it felt very satisfying indeed. So here’s to my exercise bike, not only a tool but a good friend helping me to mend, With zest, I will keep on riding to stay active and to prevent myself from going round the bend.
