Exercise Your Way To A Luscious Lunch

I file online restaurant menus in my desktop computer. I post a few from my favorite restaurants around my computer workstation desk. They may not be within walking distance of my job but they are within reach of my bicycle.

I love food! I have an appetite for savory dishes and appreciate the aroma of a special dish. I also like to stay healthy. Many people who work downtown find it difficult to exercise or eat with a one hour lunch period.

Parking is the biggest problem. Traffic is a genuine time thief. Unable to grab a decent workout or meal over an hour is frustrating. I have discovered the perfect resolution.

Every day I chain my hybrid two wheeler next to other diamondback bikes. There is a bike rack near the entrance to our workplace. I ride my bike to my favorite area bistros and cafes at lunch.

I have pedaled away parking problems and steer clear of traffic tie-ups. I enjoy entrees provided to area sidewalk cafes by private chefs trying to make their mark. I eat great and spin away the calories.

I can go farther than I did when I would walk to lunch. The extended range means I have a bigger selection of meals. Riding the bike means that I am exercising my heart, lungs, and cardio-vascular systems.

I use a backpack to carry water bottles or other refreshments. The model I use is light and sturdy. It is the perfect space for leftover portions that will become my midnight snack.

I no longer feel sluggish in the afternoon. I am invigorated after a special meal and a solid restaurant ride on the bicycle. I eat better, look better, and feel better after burning off calories.

Our company is now offering additional bike racks and free bike locks to riders. They know that incentives work and healthier employees are better producers.

I enjoy a wider selection of midday cuisine, exercise without sweating, reduced stress levels, and increased health. This is a terrific way to solve some of the problems associated with working downtown.

Remember to take responsible precautions to help law enforcement officials if your ride is stolen. You can print or email photos of your bike instantly from your computer, describe the private symbol etched on the frame, and use a quality chain lock.
