How cycling has changed the way I live

How did I get into cycling? back then, It was a good old day back in late February 2020. I've seen people riding bikes in the city and on youtube, I thought it was really cool and fun, so I saved up a few money that I earned for several months. One day, I talked to my friend through chat "messenger" about what type of bike I need and the amount of budget I need for my bike. After a long period of discussion, I bought a brand new bike ("Giant Rincon Disc 2020") from a local retailer. my friends and I were both extremely excited because he now has a new riding partner to ride along and I am able to do my sport. After getting the bike, I had to ride back home, my friend was riding his motorbike with me back home.

Day passes, month passes, and I realized that I was really into cycling (mountain bike, MTB), I have my MTB but here in Cambodia we just ride wherever we like. For example, you have MTB but you ride on the concrete paths, national roads, and trail tracks. Me and my friend started to hit the trail and began our journey weekly. When riding a bike, you on your own bike, no body is with you, that when I learn being self-confident and mentally strong is important when riding a bike. Especially, you got someone to look after you all the time. at that time, I learn how to be a strong guy and one crucial thing that I've learned was not to give up. Even though I have had problems with my legs such as cramps, physical injuries, technical rides, I still made it by riding toward my pinpoint destination at any cost.
