Honestly, recently I haven't gone out biking with the sole purpose was just biking for months. Instead, I go swimming more often. The 'excuse' was still the same as what I wrote some years ago (some where in my blog): my right knee was sometimes painful after biking, especially if I ride Cleopatra or Austin. The pain is just so so if I ride Snow White, my polygon urbano folding bike I bought in 2010. And as many people say that swimming is the best exercise for people (between a certain age bracket, and my age already belongs to this bracket 😝), I choose to swim more often than go biking.
However, honestly, because I don't have time to go swimming in the afternoon/evening, I do it in the morning. You can guess: swimming in the morning makes my complexion get darker and darker in no time! I started feeling worried: "will some people (especially old friends) find it difficult to recognize me when we happen to meet somewhere?" 😜😛😎 (as if I am a fan of reunion while in fact I am NOT 😁😄😎) oh ... how I wish I lived in European countries or America where people with tanned skin are considered exotic and beautiful 😉😆😜
and ... voila! today, 26 August 2025, I took Austin out, to 'date my hometown', lol. I biked for 20 kilometers today.
