About 4 years ago I was moving to a new home 2.5 km from office. Instead of walking I thought a bike would be convenient. Besides, I thought I could well ride to more places, like going out of city for star grazing, with my telescope. I ended up buying a cheap 21 speed from Walmart. In order to train myself for that stargazing trip I rode more and more. I joined a cycling club, did my first 50 mile solo, and found that I couldn't catch up because of the bike, so I bought a road bike.
