Out of City Truths #5

#5.  Bought a Bicycle.  How long has it been.  A really!!! long time.  In the meantime there has been inline skating and yoga and …. but a bicycle no.  The nice man at the store had assembled it, loaded it into the back of the car.  At home, I took it out, lowered the seat and got on.  I remember it being so easy.  I don’t think I have ever fallen off one of these before.  I hope the weather changes and that I can give this some time each day.  My mind remembers, but the body is talking back asking “you really think you can do this?”  We are the little engine that could, will.

post script: whew.  The second day was warmer, sunny and already the riding improved.  I could once again balance and this time get up to speed.  We have this. i was worried at that first try but now, no more.
