Can You Cycle in a pool? Aka Aqua cycling?

in #hive-1777456 months ago

You know one thing about hanging out with your friends? You feel refreshed and for me, it seems as though I’m hitting the pause button of my life and living and enjoying my life.

Over the weekend I was bored coupled with the lack of power over here, I had told my friend about it and he suggested we hung out since I had nothing to do and of course, I was game.

My friend never told me he was going to ride his bicycle from his house to mine as it was quite a distance, in his defense he wanted to surprise me and also save his fuel. He was able to achieve both as I was surprised and he also saved his fuel as well.

I was so excited to ride his bicycle as I hadn’t ridden a bicycle for some months now, so it was nice to get on his bicycle and cycle away.

He chose the location for the hangout and decided we ride the bicycle down there. Before getting to the venue we made a few stops and bought some things as well.

He showed me some of the cool bicycle tricks he could do and he even tried to teach me. When I tried to attempt the wheelie trick and manual trick I fell, I gave up before even trying to learn how to do it.

He showed me how to do the bunny hop and jump tricks too and I couldn't believe my eyes, how he got to learn how to do them and appeared cool while doing them was amazing. He was being a total show off but then again I applauded him and couldn't believe the amount of work and effort he had put in learning these tricks.

We finally made our way to the venue, the moment I caught a glimpse of the swimming pool I was all giddy. I love being at the poolside and I admire people who know how to swim but sadly I can't swim to save my life, and I didn't go with my swimsuit.

I allowed my friend to take his swimming classes while I took in the view of the place.

While waiting for him, homeboy came around and came up with the craziest idea. He suggested that we cycle in a pool. Before saying anything to him I picked up my phone to search for "Can people cycle in a pool?" I was astonished to see the results that came out. People could really cycle in a pool and come out alive, not just that as there is a freaking name for it!! It is called AQUA CYCLING. At that point, I concluded that there were so many things I did not know that existed in this world. Now that I think about it, just maybe the weird imaginations I usually have sometimes might just be existing somewhere in the world and I do not know😂😂

I looked at the young man in front of me and I knew he had lost it because how do you tell someone who isn't a pro in cycling and someone who cannot swim to save her life to go into the pool and cycle?

While going through the search results on my phone I discovered that the bicycles used to cycle in pools were different from the regular bicycles as they have more features that can withstand water and they looked so cool.

Coming back to reality, I laughed so hard at my friend for thinking of using his road bicycle for a pool.

"I am not going to die in your hands okay?" I said to him.

"C'mon IB life is full of risks", he boldly replied.
I stared at the motivational speaker in front of me and I was speechless, I should risk my life for Aqua cycling to gain what in the end? the only thing I could think of was how he wasted a powerful quote on Aqua cycling.

After going back and forth with him about aqua cycling, I suggested he come alone whenever he is ready to take this "risk" of his. We laughed over it.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and the ambiance of the place. We both went back to our different homes and we were happy as we didn't just hang out but we got to learn more about Aqua cycling and it was nice.

Life is full of risks but that one was not a risk to take.😅
How does he expect someone who cannot swim well to cycle in a pool? With what balance?
Your friend is hilarious.

Please help me and ask him oooo😂😂

Got me wondering if this cycling pattern is in sport because I do watch Olympic games and I've never seen such.
😎

You never can tell you know, maybe it’s part of the Olympics games .

My first time hearing about aqua cycling. I am happy you decided to not take the risk of trying that out. Not every risk is worth taking.

You are very correct my !Lady

Hahaha, that kind of risk is not the type one should take. I am trying to imagine how it works. Maybe I will make my own research about it.

Came in from dreemport.

Lol you should oo😁😁

Wow, I never knew people could cycle in the pool until now, it's really good to explore.

You sure did have a great time, I hope to try aqua cycling too.

Popped in from Dreemport, always an awesome #dreemerforlife.

I also just discovered that there was something called aqua cycling

Goodluck trying it out in the future😊

I've seen aqua cycling once, but you need a special bicycle for that indeed. I do think it's really tough though because of the resistance of the water.

It’s definitely going to be tough but I suspect it would be fun regardless.
