So here’s the deal: I cannot ride a bike. The old adage is wrong, I learned how to ride a bike as a child, I stopped riding a bike when I was a child, I forgot how to ride a bike. I actually have written a short essay about trying to learn again just a few years ago. My friend (and avid cyclist) Jennifer attempted to help me. I have an ancient bike that rates high in coolness, but low in function. The thing weighs a ton and it’s entirely too big for me.
Enter resolution #5: Learn to ride a bike . . . for realz. Jennifer has offered to help again, I have my sight set on a bike that looks user-friendly AND has a hip retro look to boot. I’ll post pictures soon. First things first, Jennifer and I are going to go visit some bike stores and have a look-see. We’ll talk to the experts in the shops to find the right bike for me. Next step, purchase bike (I may have to order it). I’d like to find an affordable bike. I have a lot of expenses coming down the pike and don’t need to be blowing a ton on this. Last step: practice riding.
Why this resolution this month? It’s National Bike Month, that’s why.
