Go to the office by bicycle

I have three colleagues who sometimes take their bicycle to work. Two of them live near our company Azabu-juban, Komagome, but one lives in Chiba, far from our company. He told me that it takes about 90 minutes. Each time he takes his bicycle, he seems physically tired, but mentally refreshed.

I live in Kamata, which is far from our office, so I never thought about taking my bicycle to work. However, one day, the idea crossed my mind that I might have fun if I went by bicycle.

Most of long distance cyclists have racing bicycles that are designed for road cycling. However I can’t afford me. I had no choice but to use my “mamachari”, city bicycle.

I thought that it would take 90 minutes from my home to our office, so I started 90 minutes before work.

About 30 minutes later, I was disappointed that my bicycle was slow. Some racing bicycles overtook me in an instant. Moreover, my tires were about to go flat. I noticed that my “mamachari” can’T go for longer than 90 minutes. Besides, I lost my way and wandered into a strange place when I looked for back streets where there were few cars. Because of this, I was late for the office. There was sweat all in the back of my shirt when I arrived at the office. I was very refreshed, but very tired before beginning work.

In total, U cycled for about 200minutes that day. Because of this, my muscles were stiff and sore.
