Welcome to my Blog!

Seeking a new outlet for thoughts, photos and your comments on the topic of the unbridled joy brought forth when one is unleashed upon their bike.

I'll keep it light with inane diatribes and plenty of eye candy since this is supposed to be fun. Some blogs are sooo serious and they don't even write good.

Good to see another Bicycle Place Velo Club member starting another blog.

1968

40 years ago this spring a little suburban kid took off his training wheels and taught himself to ride. Mom was making dinner and Dad was at work and all his siblings were practically grown up. So he did. Like a condor picking up speed for flight, the plucky prepubescent pedaled while steadying himself against the side of his folk's oh-so-cool '66 T-Bird, accelerated, and by time he cleared the syncopated tail lights of the classic Ford, was alone free in space, away from the lumbering adults and above the fray of his previous pedestrian confines, wind through his mop-top, he felt the winged inspiration of Pegasus, but like Icarus had no real sense of balance and crashed (as planned) into the zoysia.
You'd think that after 40 years this stumpy man would be more than a Cat 4...
