I am a riding lover and got a new bicycle(as the image shows) about one year ago. During which period of time, I have ridden about 3,000 kilometers in the aggregate and enjoy the time so much on the road in every episode.
I have once ridden a longest distance of about 220 kilometers during a single day in a 200KM PBP bicycle challenge. Moreover, I have also ridden 360KM or so from Xi'an to Han'zhong in a single episode with one of my friends. All of those have brought me a great sense of accomplishment of challenging myself.
Every time I am on the road with my bicycle, I can stop to enjoy the beautiful scenery alongside the way and take out my camera to record it. The night scene of Xi'an(a very old city in China) is attractive. It's very convenient for me to enjoy it with bicycle whenever it is possible. I have also taken lots of pictures of Xi'an night scene. When I scan those photos I have taken, wonderful memories emerge in my mind and I enjoy them so much.
Another thing I must mention is that there are a great many of bicycle lovers, so it's very common to meet each other and I have made many friends on the road. It's really a wonderful experience.
Bicycle riding is a hobby for me, it has brought me so much pleasure and made my life enjoyable. So what your bicycle or other hobbies have brought to you? I am glad and looking forward to sharing your experiences !

This is my road bike and I haven't been riding for quite awhile. I miss riding it since I am a bike enthusiast as well. I also have a mountain bike which looks just like yours but mine is a Giant XTC.

@transcendent Sad to say there are a lot of Giant xtc imitation that's why there's a lot of that on the road. Planning to change to a Specialized one soon.

@toniganzon Another well-known brand is "MERIOA" which is as usual as "GIANT" on the road.

@transcendent That would have been a tough ride. I hope you always take water with you now as it wouldn't be good to get dehydrated.

Yeah, especially when it is hot in the summer. Still remember a time when I meant to climb a mountain of 33KM rough winding road with my friends. We hardly bore it because the lack of water, but a sense of excitement stirred inside us when we are at the top of the mountain.

@JudyEv I would take enough water with me after experiencing such kind of tough ride.

Yes, riding can be very fantastic, especially after a whole week days of working.
