Well today I took a friend on a bushwalk, what do you ask does that have in
relevance to the bicycle newsgroup? Well it has plenty! We park the car, get
the bikes off the back and she gets on and says "where are the brakes?" as
she peddles madly in reverse! OMG she then admits she has not ridden for 37
yrs... LOL at 46 yrs old her last bike was lost at the age of 9.
Anyway, she got on, and rode to the first slope, rather gingerly, then I
tried to tell her what gears were - she did try, but failed and fell off.
Not to be beaten she got straight back on the bike again and we rode for 12
kms before leaving the bikes in the bush and setting off through the bush
back to the car!
What a hero, she fell off once, her bum was screaming for mercy, but she
persisted and is now so excited about actually being able to ride again that
she wants to go out there and buy a bike!
The moral of the story? We are never too old to get out there and ride a
bike
