Bike Free

The Hound asked for our bicycle memories, so here are mine:

Oh, yeah; I don’t have any.

I never had a bike, I never learned to ride.
My siblings did, so it’s not that bikes were unknown around me.
I won’t go into details.

However, I did like my trike, and we even had a very large one that had belonged to a relative. It was much bigger than your standard tricycle. I can’t remember how we obtained it, who owned it, or what happened to it.

It would probably command a lot of money from a collector now.

All I remember is that it didn’t roll well on grass, and I never took it across the street to the only side of the road that had the sidewalk.  

Speaking of which, we have serious cyclists come through town, and it can be quite dangerous on our (sometimes) two-lane state highways. I do not understand why they do not have cyclists facing traffic anymore. They tell me it is safer this way but for the life of me, I can’t see how. Some are very rude and will actually swerve toward the middle when you try to pass them. I have no idea how many of them are still alive to continue the practice.

However, the local government has made strides to put in bike lanes and give them some sidewalk-like walking/biking paths. Since many of the serious cyclists, (and serious runners), come into the area for Bourbon-related activities, (hopefully, they are not imbibing while riding), it has been a necessary safety expense,

and made my life a little calmer.

Sorry this is short, but I was late with last week’s and I wanted to show up.

I hope you have a great weekend!
