Look Out!

Here's my sweet new ride. It's the first time I've owned a bike since receiving one for my 8th birthday! I'm pretty excited. Steve tells me it's a really nice bike - a "beginner's" mountain bike with great shocks and tires, fancy brakes and trigger shifting and whatnot. I tell him I like it because it's pink.

But you know how they say you can remember certain things, no matter how long it's been? "Don't worry, it'll come back...just like riding a bike!" WE-ell... in my case that's not entirely accurate. I mean I can ride it all right, but I'm still re-learning some of the finer points of the bicycle. Like how to turn. And shift gears. And maybe I get a little nervous when cars drive past me. Steve is very patient. And he always takes the street-side of the bike lane. What a hero!
