<\/a><\/p>\nIt doesn’t look quite as complicated when all the bits and pieces are still wrapped in cardboard and plastic. But it was a big job, lemme tells ya.<\/p>\n
And finished:<\/p>\n
I made it!<\/p>\n
Literally. I made my exercise bike. There was a while there where I didn’t think I’d be able to get it all fit together. But I managed. And now I am the proud owner of an exercise bike. <\/p>\n
I have taken it for the first spin as well. Just a little one. Four kilometres. Nothing to brag about. But more than enough for me to work up a sweat and a healthy heartbeat. I am very out of shape, no doubt about that. But it’ll come. You’re not supposed to overdo it at first of course. The manual said that beginner’s should only do it twice a week. I’d like to do it somewhat more often than that. Every day, really. Maybe every other day to begin with. It just feels nice. To push yourself a little. Feel the blood flow. I think this is going to be good.<\/p>\n
But I know my legs are going to kill me tomorrow! Oh boy. No doubt about that. Even with stretching and warming up and down. They’re still going to keeel me. <\/p>\n
Here are a couple of pictures.<\/p>\n
