Do You Remember…

…the first time you rode a bike without training wheels? How your mother or father ran along side you with a gentle hand on the seat trying to keep you steady as the terror within you built up, and you just knew that you were going to fall if they let go. Then the joy and exhilaration you felt as you realized that they had let go, and though wobbly you were peddling and balancing on your own for the very first time. You're doing it! shout mom and dad, and at the same time you say to yourself I'm doing it!

What Others Have To Say

Ever bike? Now that's something that makes life worth living! I take exercise every afternoon that way. Oh, to just grip your handlebars and lay down to it, and go ripping and tearing through streets and road, over railroad tracks and bridges, threading crowds, avoiding collisions, at twenty miles or more an hour, and wondering all the time when you're going to smash up. Well now, that's something! And then go home again after three hours of it, into the tub, rub down well, then into a soft shirt and down to the dinner table, with the evening paper and a glass of wine in prospect - and then to think that tomorrow I can do it all over again!
-Jack London

Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live. said Mark Twain in his essay called Taming the Bicycle after learning to ride a high-wheeled bicycle of the period. Having been in several accidents, including being hit by a car, I think I know what he means.
