Well, when it comes to a sport I enjoyed when I was younger, I would like to talk about cycling. It was in grade two when my parents bought me a new bike. They allowed me to ride it to school, and it really made me feel like I was growing up. From then on, cycling became my new hobby. I usually took a long route home after school because I wanted to enjoy the ride more. Actually, I used to be a bit of a couch potato. I preferred spending time indoors, reading books, drawing, or just watching TV than going out with others. After school, I came home to change clothes and help out around the house because my mom didn't allow me to go anywhere without finishing my chores. Every day, I spent about 30 minutes riding my bike around my village. During that time, I completely immersed myself in the atmosphere of the fields, especially in autumn, or just enjoyed the crisp chill in the air. Speaking of my feelings, riding a bike was definitely an effective stress reliever. By fully focusing on the road and moving forward, I could easily forget all the worries and sorrows, and sometimes the pressure of school too. Usually, riding for two or three kilometers really helped me get physically active. I'm really into cycling and highly recommend this activity to everyone, especially if you're looking for a new hobby to take up.
