Alan Dilworth - Thought #3 - Riding a Bike

My name is Alan Dilworth, this is thought number three. This is my daughter two days ago riding one of two bikes that she was regifted. This bike was given to her almost three years ago. It's too small for her, but she is riding it anyways because she is motivated to master this bike thing, and anyways the other bike was not yet in Toronto. This image is her rocking it during homeschool recess. She was buzzing up and down our street wowing me with her new going-downhill-pedal-break-technique. A middle aged man walked by us, smiled, and said. "Riding a bike... it's great... it makes the young feel old and the old feel young." Ten minutes later, a young couple driving by rolled down the window -yelled "Yay!", and applauded her fresh success. Exhilarating. Time to get out my Masi Uno and pump up the tires.
