Have you ever traveled around by bike? This spring my older brother and I 1 the busy city and spent a long weekend cycling in the countryside. Our speed was only around 14 kph, but we didn't 2. We hadn't come to break any speed records, after all. All we wanted were some 3 air and a break from schoolwork.
We really 4 ourselves while cycling along traffic-free country paths. There was plenty of sunshine, but it was quite cold, 5 in the mornings. The good news was that soon we 6 as we rode along. Our only 7 was when my brakes started making a terrible noise. But I didn't care as it gave us an 8 to visit a café while a bike mechanic (机修工) had a look at it.
Every few kilometres there was a 9 where we could talk with local people. One of the women was very 10 and showed us the way when we got lost. On Saturday night we were 11 at 2 a. m. by some young people. They kept singing loudly in the next room, which made us sleepless all night. We felt very12 when we got up the next morning. Soon we 13. We were more cheerful on the way when the sun came out. Luckily, things like that happened only once. Anyway I still like traveling around by bike — it's 14 and it's fun. If you're looking for a short break that's active and cheap, then cycling is a great 15!
