I’m a relative newcomer to the world of cycling, but it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with it. I ride almost every day now and can’t get enough of it. So what took me so long to find this joyous activity and why do I love it so much now?

Plus, if you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas gift, these can all be easily put into mason jars, decorated, and gifted! I did this, and they were a hit.
