STATIONARY
(a shadorma)
Pedaling
to go nowhere, I’m
wondering
when the joy
of riding a bike became
a means to an end.

Interesting mix of to-get-somewhere and to-lose-weight. I’m all for getting back to joy! Neat!

Hate those exercise bikes with a vengeance! Then again, treadmills aren’t much better, are they? *sigh* Beautifully put!

This is a cool slant on bicycling! Cant figure out why a stationary one isnt as much fun as outdoor ones. Must be the scenery or lack of it. Smiles.

I also included the stationary bike (the spin cycle) in my poem. I realize that as much as I love the exhilaration of a ride there is also a different kind of thrill from a spin workout.

But, pedal you must! It makes the getting from here to where you want to be a bit easier! 😉 Great take here, Paula!

I hear you with this. It does seem that we put a lot of pedaling effort into not really moving, doesn’t it?
