Question

     Have you ever traveled around by bike? This spring my older brother and I 41 the busy city and spent a long weekend 42 in the countryside. Our speed was only around 14 kph,but we didn't 43 . We had't come to break any speed records,44 . All we wanted was some 45 air and a break from schoolwork. 

      We really 46 ourselves while cycling along traffic-free country paths. There was plenty of sunshine, 47 it was quite cold, 48 in the mornings. The good news was that soon we 49 as we rode along. Our only 50 was when my brakes (剎車) started making a terrible noise. But I didn't care as it gave us an 51 to visit a cafe while a bike mechanic (機(jī)修工) had a look at it.

      Every few kilometers there was a 52 where we could talk with local people. One of the women was very 53 and showed us the way when we got lost. On Saturday night we were 54 at 2 a.m. by some young people. They kept singing loudly in the next room,which made us 55 all night. We felt very 56 when we got up the next morning. Soon we 57 . We were more cheerful on the way when the sun came out. 58,things like that happened only once. Anyway I still like traveling around by bike — it's 59 and it's flm. If you’ re looking for a short break that' s active and cheap,then cycling is a great 60 !
