So I have been thinking about cycling across Canada for many years. However, I never had the courage or the time to do it. I finally decided to hop on my bike and start the journey this year in 2019.
Why do I want to do the bike trip?
I think first of all is that I really enjoy bike touring. I like the feeling of wind brushing against my face and passing scenic or interesting surroundings at a moderate speed. Cycling makes me calm and give me time to let my mind wander. I did hear one day over the radio that cycling is the No.2 activity that you can do to help reduce stress and depression.
Secondly, I am at a point in life where I feel a bit lost. I am a bit confused about my future and not quite sure how to guide my life towards where I want it to be, well, I don’t even know what I really want in life anymore. I think this cycling trip would give me the time I need to do a bit soul searching and make some important decisions of my future.
Thirdly, I really want to use this bike trip as an opportunity and a mean to inspire and encourage others to live a more environmentally friendly life. There are a lot of things that we can do in life to reduce the waste we create, reduce the energy resources we burn and still enjoy life.
Keeping a blog going while on the bike trip is going to be very very hard. But I will try my best to do it. I will be sharing my journey, as well as the lessons learned from the bike trip on my blog.
Cheers Everyone!
