Lately, I've been super addicted to going for bike rides! I love spring! It's not too hot or cold. And I can go outside whenever I want!
I love going on the bike trail we have here. It's about 2 miles from my house. And the trail it's self is far. I could ride on it all day!
I wish they had trails that went across states. We really should encourage people to use their bikes. It's great for the environment and our health.

It makes me wonder if installing bike racks and becoming more bike friendly in America would encourage people to lose weight?

Today I went for 7 miles; I usually go for 10. But those gnats on the trail are getting out of control.
They get in my eyes And blind me. And they overall just ruin the experience. I soaked my clothes in permethrin yesterday, Its not helping with keeping them off my face.
To be fair, the trail is near a river, Which attracts the gnats. But hey, I want to enjoy the river too!!

I may buy some other bug spray to keep them away!
Overall it was still a peaceful bike ride. I'm really proud of myself for all the new healthy habits I'm incorporating into my daily life.


Thank you @elyaque for the awesome Badges!

What really sucks is when you unexpectedly breathe in a gnat and start choking on it. Then, you realize the protein benefit and simply swallow it 😉

Much of New Jersey is not all that bike friendly and many drivers think bicycles have no business on the roads. It can be dangerous to ride the main roads.

Good luck with the workouts, it's a great way to take in the scenery and also take lots of pictures!

LOL! Thats what I was thinking about the protein ahahhaa!! Gross though.

Aww really!? That sucks! I hate it when cars dont' share the road. They don't have any bike trails?

Great post! I'm looking at getting a proper Mountain Bike so I can start trail riding...can't wait :)

Bike riding is great for cardio!! What kind of bike do you have?

I have a Fuji Finest 2.0 Women's Road Bike - 2016.
