I feel like a kid again too! And though I have thoroughly enjoyed so many wonderful things over the decades, I realized that I haven't FELT LIKE A KID since back then, 37 years ago, when I WAS a kid, riding my bike!

I love the little clicking sound the bike makes when you walk it along some sidewalk.

I love cruising slowly down a shady tree lined street.

I love sitting outside with my latte at our town's little cafe, and seeing my gleaming bike machine patiently waiting for me.

I love when people ask me about my bike and when we part they say something like "Wow, I'm going to get my bike out this week and ride it again!"

I love pulling off my helmet and my gloves when I get to my destination. -How sexy!

I love when people smile and nod at me when I ride by.

I love feeling that burn in my thighs when I get home, knowing that in the morning my legs will be just a tiny bit stronger and more shapely!

I love coming up behind joggers and giving my cheery Ching-Ching!! bell well ahead of time so they won't get startled when I pass them. They always look back and smile at me.

I love the sound of my bell Ching-Ching! just like in those old 1940's movies set in Europe where the villagers are all on bicycles chinging their little bells, their bread baguettes sticking out of their bike baskets. (how many b's in that sentence?)

I love talking bikes over morning coffee with my wonderful husband, who UNDERSTANDS and feels the same as me. We love making bike plans together.

I love peeling off my sweaty biking clothes and getting into a COOL shower afterwards!!
