Cycling to School

Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way. It gives you a moment to breathe and think, and get away from what you're working on. There's a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you're self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left, you can veer off there, which isn't so easy in a car, and you can't cover as much ground walking. For me, cycling is one of my most prior hobbies and one of the best ways to keep you fit. Cycling helps refresh your mind and have a peaceful time. Whenever I am in a need of some time alone, I get my bicycle out and go for a ride to some peaceful place or a place where no one can disturb me. I believe cycling is a kind of yoga for me because i feel relaxed and refreshed after I take a ride on my bicycle. You also get to address the atmosphere and nature around you while you are cycling as you go on as per your wish and there is no one to direct you or force you to go on and on.  
            Cycling is a mutual hobby between me and my classmates Shafqat and himanshu. We were told about extra classes at our school, and as our school is situated far from our places we decide to have an adventure cycling all the way to our school. We asked for permission from our coordinator to allow us to cycle to the school, even our coordinator was happy that we are promoting such kind of sport and he agreed on this and also asked us to get a written permission from our parents, and we did so. Our school is around 16 km from our homes, so cycling for so long was the first time for me. Being a risk taker i was ready for the activity.

            The day arrived and as decided we had to leave early morning to reach our school in time. We had decided a meeting point on equal distances from our respective homes. We were on time at the meeting point and departed from there immediately. It took us around half hour to reach our school. after arriving at the school all of the people in the school were shocked to really cycle all the way to the school from the most busiest street of the city. This was a new challenge we undertook and we worked collaboratively to complete this task.
