It's just like riding a bike....riiiiiight!

So we all know the phrase: "It's just like riding a bike!" We all know what it means when someone says that. It will come back to you, even if you haven't done it in ages.
Whoever said it....was wrong.
(Disclaimer: I cant remember a time in the last ten years, AT LEAST, that I was on a bicycle.)
I have been wanting a bike for awhile now. I'm not sure why. I don't particularly like riding bikes, and I certainly don't like"working out," but it seems as if many of my friends lately have been picking up and dusting off the old bikes to give the wheels a spin. So I thought I would participate.
After weeks of searching I found a bike to ride here in New Zealand, and launched off today, helmet and all. Those of you who know me well know that I hate all things that have to go on my head. Hats, helmets, everything.
I was quite ambitious. Believing truly that it would all come back...and its a bike...how hard can it be! ha
It did come back, after a few close calls with the pavement, trees, the ocean...
I just thought you might find it humorous, or perhaps even inspiring. Maybe you will get our your old bike and give it a try. Even though its a bit harder when you aren't 8 years old, it is still fun, and a great way to enjoy being outside.
I am not defeated. Tomorrow is a new day! I will get back on the bike and I will enjoy it...although I am not sure my legs....or tailbone (who knew!?) would agree!
