I guess I should also add that as a pre-teen and teen, I rode a bike quite a bit. It was recreational though, nothing like it is now.
Ok I'll stop blabbing my mouth now!![]()

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
But you don't listen. You just push harder.
And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

Me too. As a child, I rode out of necessity. My bike was transportation until I got a driver's license and a car.
Ironically, I learned how to ride a bike late. Most of my peers learned by first grade, and I couldn't get my balance right until second grade.
I never thought of the bike for recreation or fitness until I met my husband.
That's what I thought too! But I was seeing a lot of posts about childhood riding so thought I'd chime in there as well.Originally Posted by caligurl
