I think I remember how.....

My son got a new bike as he is going off to university in the fall.  He will be living a couple miles off campus with a couple of room mates so he got a bike to save on gas and the hassle of parking in the commuter parking lot.

It is such a beautiful day, the sun is shining and you can almost feel summer right around the corner even though spring has just begun.

I can't remember the last time I was on a bike (a stationary one doesn't count), so I think I will take it out for a quick spin through the country side.

It should be easy- right?  It should come right back to me - right?  Just like riding a bike - right?

Dang, I hope I don't kill or seriously injure myself.

LOL! This would SO be me! I don't think I've ridden a bike since college - similar situation to your son, moved off campus (only about 1/2 a mile or so though) and rode my bike most days unless it was raining or I'd overslept or something.
GOOD LUCK AND BE CAREFUL AND MOST OF ALL... ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF IT! ♥

Lol, I never could ride a bike without many instances of imbalance.

Please don't hurt yourself.

returned, safe and sound with only sore muscles and a slight sunburn/windburn - all in all - a successful first attempt at the bike thing. I will probley do it again.

Ironically, I've started biking into work myself. Its only a 10 or 15 minute ride, but the gas money I'll be saving ... well, I'm gonna deposit that toward my plan to purchase a Dodge Charger later this year...

Man, I've missed biking...

I actually enjoyed it. I may have to invest in a bike of my own once my son takes his off to college.

Dodge Charger huh? Cool car - we can drag - I have a 2009 Mustang GT - but my son tells me I drive it like an old lady.

Well, gotta get it first. Right now, still tooling around in my mediocre Saturn SL2.
