I was 51 when I first got on a bike 3 weeks ago. It's going pretty well now, so I have a grin practically welded onto my face!
That's just amazing! Good for you. I had just taken it for granted that everyone learned to ride a bike as a kid like I did--training wheels at first then dad takes them off and runs behind you and lets go when you don't know it! I was 5 or 6 when I learned to ride a bike. The bike was dark blue. Now I'm really going to show my age--my dad worked for the USPS and they were just beginning to use zip codes and I had these little zip code stickers with that little zippy guy on them stuck to the fenders. It's funny what you remember.
