When I was about seven years old, my dad decided that it would be essential for me to learn to ride a bike (he lived in Texas during college and got around solely his bicycle; back then they even let you go on the freeway with them). Well, all my friends were learning how to ride, to, so I supposed it would be the "cool" thing to do. He got me a $50 Huffy BMX bike at Toy's 'R Us (he insisted on building it himself; know I know why) and one of the happiest days of my life was when I could get off the training wheels.

I had a lot of good times on that bike, but when I outgrew it my parents gave it away and I kinda forgot about biking. Well, about a year ago I remembered how much fun it was to bike and used the money I was going to get a computer with to get a used bike from a friend. Aaah, the memories return...
