I want to ride my bicycle...

[geminigirl]

I don't currently own a bicycle. I haven't since high school, which is about ten years ago. But I'd kind of like to again. I tried riding a year or two ago, and really couldn't...I've lost the muscle memory that's about balance.

I e-mailed my Mom asking if she still had her bike; I know she hasn't ridden it in years and years. It's not unthinkable to maybe acquire Mom's bicycle.

The problem is of course that I'm 27 years old and need training wheels. Or at least someone to help me until I re-learn the balance part of bike riding. You know...doing the whole mom running behind the two wheeler and then letting go thing. Just til I learned the balance part. I'd look silly, but it would be really nice to be able to bike to Mt. Vernon or to take advantage of some of the nice bike trails around here.

I had a similar experience, though at the request of a now ex.gf of mine... we got bikes, I used to ride A LOT, but hadn't in over 12 years... All I can say is how accurate that old saying is... one really 'never forgets...' after about an hour I was flying around like my old self...

and it was FUN! :)
