  Cycling? It's one of my life's constants, it feeds my need for beauty, for delight and for aimless exploring . . . I hope to continue pedalling, nice and slowly, for the rest of my life, with the same curiosity that ignited my childhood.
  
  Twelve writers consider the joys and consolations of cycling, whether in a city late at night or along country lanes on a summer's day. Yara Rodrigues Fowler and Xani Byrne write movingly on coming to terms with loss through tandem biking; Jon McGregor takes part in the overnight Dunwich Dynamo. Annie Lord sings the praises of cycling home on Lime bikes from parties, while the late Dervla Murphy regales us with stories of a cycle through Europe.
  
  Freewheeling is a celebration of life on two wheels, and how bikes can become an extension of ourselves, a type of armour, and a route to liberation.

  PICKLEBALL FOR BEGINNERS - A...

  Pickleball's popularity expanded over the years, and the game eventually made its way to other regions of the country. In 1976, the first pickleball tournament was played, and in 1984, the United States of America Pickleball Association was established. Pickleball is a popular sport that is practiced not only in the United States but also in the majority of other countries across the world. 
  You will require a few essential pieces of gear in order to play pickleball. The pickleball paddle, which has a form comparable to that of a table tennis paddle but is somewhat larger, is the most essential component of the game. The paddle is constructed out of a number of materials, the most notable of which are graphite, composite materials, and wood. 
  Pickleball is played with a ball that is comparable in size to a wiffle ball but has holes that are much smaller. Because it is not too heavy and can be hit with relative ease, the ball is ideal for players who are just starting out. Pickleball is played on a court that is of a rectangular shape and has a net in the middle to create two halves. The dimensions of the court for doubles play are 20 feet wide by 44 feet long, and the dimensions for singles play are 20 feet wide by 22 feet long. 
  The rules of pickleball are not too complicated and can be grasped with little effort. The first step of the game is the serve, which must be executed underhand and in a direction that is diagonal across the court. The team that is receiving the serve must wait for the ball to bounce before returning it, and the serve must land within the service court of the opposing team.

  This book contains three titles, which are: 
  - Cross-Training: Cross-training is a powerful approach to fitness that involves engaging in a variety of exercises and activities to improve overall performance, reduce the risk of injury, and maintain motivation. For athletes of all levels, cross-training provides an opportunity to diversify their workouts, making them more dynamic and enjoyable while enhancing physical and mental resilience. 
  - Strength Training for Runners: Strength training has long been overlooked by runners who often focus solely on logging miles and improving endurance. However, integrating strength training into a runner’s routine is essential for enhancing performance, building resilience, and reducing the risk of injuries. This chapter introduces the foundational concepts of strength training specifically tailored for runners, highlighting why it is a vital component of a well-rounded training program. 
  - Strength Training for Seniors: As we grow older, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass in a process known as sarcopenia. This gradual decline can affect strength, balance, and overall functionality. However, regular strength training can slow, and in some cases, even reverse these effects. By engaging in a consistent exercise routine, seniors can improve their ability to perform everyday activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or simply getting out of a chair.
