How Cycling Saved Me from Disaster

It was only 3 years ago - I was so out of shape, a border line alcoholic and a complete shut-in. I needed to change my life somehow. I tried the gym, but found it full of posers and actually rather intimidating. I tried swimming but found it frankly boring.
I then decided to give cycling a go - just cycling to the shops and back to start with. I found it hard going to start with, but after a while it seemed to just become effortless - even the hills. I then decided to take it more seriously and bought a racing bike and some sprintdesign jackets. That was the best decision I've ever made. I then fell in love with long distance rides - I felt so free, and even better - I felt like I'd achieved something when I reached my destination - and I've never looked back since then.
