I know that some people will see that title, and think I am talking about a motorcycle. No, I'm talking about a bike, as in something most 6 year olds learn to ride...

I was recently in a post about fears and phobias, and I remembered the bike thing. I was really ashamed of it when I was younger (I was "sick" when we had our biking unit every year). So I decided to close that chapter up and fix this goddamn mess. I called in sick to work today, and I kept trying until I could finally ride. It took me almost 3 hours of trying to ballence myself, but I did it, I can now ride a bike.

Well, I'm only 21 years late to the club, but I did it. I made 6 year old me proud - well at least before it ended up in the hospital for cutting its head open for falling off a bike while learning...

Nice job!

I was slow at learning to tell time on analog displays and tying my shoes. I could speak a second language fluently before I knew how to do those two...

I learned how to ride a bike so I would never have to waste my time learning how to drive a car.

Why didn't you learn to buy a train ticket instead and skip both of those?

I'm not sure about him, but where I live public transportation isn't the best. However, I still take the bus because being a university student gives me a bus pass.

Well he's German and at least I've heard German public transportation is pretty good. Don't know how true or widespread that is though.

Does seem that American/Canadians always have terrible public transport though

I remember reading that Los Angeles used to have pretty good public transport, but then the big automobile companies lobbied to try to make people buy cars instead. So yeah, maybe the obsession with owning a car here has to do with that.

Duh, I did that before that. How else would I get anywhere with my bike? Think!



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Good for you. My dad taught me and sent me riding down a hill by myself. I was so happy and excited to do it on my own, until I soared right into a brick church sign.

Well that is different....

 

Just between you and me, I can't swim either...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

These are the childhood moments. Sometimes I wish I could back, even for a day...

Sighs*
