My dad suggested that I get a bike because he noticed me staying cooped up in my room all day during quarantine. I can't thank him enough for his idea, because biking gives me a chance to get a breath of fresh air, exercise and have some quality me time. It's probably what I look forward to most everyday and it keeps me happy.
