RE: Memoir Monday #28 (9/16-9/22) - How did you learn to ride a bicycle?

in #memoirmonday2 months ago

I couldn't tell you how old I was, but I think I was older than most kids when they learn to ride. I had training wheels and then one day I just rode out of the garage and I was good to go. Like you said, it was almost like a switch was flipped. After that point it was all about ramps and jumping my sisters hand me down girl bike with a banana seat. Ah man, I thought I had a photo somewhere in digital format, but I guess not...

Sort:  

We used to build ramps with plywood and cinder blocks and jump them too! We really punished those bikes. A friend of mine had an old Schwinn with a banana seat (and he still has it).

Yes! Hard to believe we are still walking around intact!

You can say that again! Lol.
