I've been smoking for about 3 years now, been trying to quit smoking little by little by cutting down to how many i have a week.. or more like, how fast i finish a pack. So far I'm about a pack a week, and have been at this mark for some time now. Quitting smoking was one of the reasons i started to bike about 2 months ago. So far the weather has been pretty gross. cloudy and raining, so i haven't been going out as much. Kinda afraid of the rain since i just started to bike. But i noticed that it helps.
I get tired pretty easily after a 30 min ride which i think is pretty sad. Kinda disappointing in myself. But i guess that thought is fueling me to quit smoking. If i want to be able to bike for longer periods, faster, farther, and go up hills quicker without running out of breath.. then i gotta quit.
