However, that doesn't mean it's easy -- my muscles have NO idea how this is all supposed to work, and it's a long, slow process to retrain them!Allison Gammonshttp://eclecticali.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-11392616907170194602015-04-02T14:13:24.535-04:002015-04-02T14:13:24.535-04:00Fortunately it was a folding bike and my feet easi...Fortunately it was a folding bike and my feet easily touched the ground...on both sides!DBMcNicolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-53821511388831531352015-04-02T14:13:04.864-04:002015-04-02T14:13:04.864-04:00Hmmm, now I wonder if I can still fingerpaint. ;)Hmmm, now I wonder if I can still fingerpaint. ;)DBMcNicolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-19044799688910553902015-04-02T14:12:39.828-04:002015-04-02T14:12:39.828-04:00They do, very popular in Florida.

Tbh I haven't touch a bicycle in the last 5 years, but I figure that other than a wobbly start I'll probably be able to keep my balance. But watching my mom learn reminded me just how inaccurate that saying is...riding a bike is NOT that easy.<br /><br />Also recently my sisters and I were talking about swimming and how we might or might not have forgotten to swim.<br /><br />I'll have to test out both biking and swimming now because your post's got me thinking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682452054900402503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-31224759720325908842015-04-02T07:52:57.220-04:002015-04-02T07:52:57.220-04:00I can just see Stu running along behind you holdin...I can just see Stu running along behind you holding the back of the seat.
