Kenyan media personality and content creator Azziad Nasenya recently shared a lighthearted cycling adventure along a scenic red-dirt path winding through a dense, lush forest.
Dressed in a matching purple athleisure set and a blue safety helmet, she pedalled along the wooded trail. She cheerfully chatted and laughed into the camera about the physical strain of riding a bicycle as an adult.
As the track gradually sloped upward, the physical exertion visibly caught up with her. She dismounted to catch her breath and push the bicycle up the incline, playfully groaning about the steep hills.
Despite her own physical exhaustion on the uphill stretch, Azziad took a moment to question adult viewers who never learned to ride a bike. She voiced her genuine confusion directly to her audience.
“Ati hujui kuendesha baiskeli in your adulthood. Kwani what games were you playing when you were a kid? Gosh gooosh!” she said into the camera.
She embedded a text caption on the video screen to emphasise her point: “How ow, it doesn’t even make sense.”
