I learned how to ride a bike without training wheels at 3-4 years old.

Then, I got a 10 speed later in life... I guess around 8-10? I rode that thing everywhere! I loved it!

When I was around 11-12, I tried to go ride with a group from the bike shop in town... but they said I needed the padded shorts, and I we couldn't afford them.

Well, I still rode on my own... and even rode to work until I was 17 years old.

Once I got a car though, the bike was gone.

Then, in October 2004... I decided to start doing triathlons... bought myself a Trek 1000... and I now have 2,200 miles on it!

I love bikes!
