It's true what they say: you never forget how to ride a bike. Note that
they don't say anything about how awkward or embarrassed you'll
be for the first block. :-) To be fair, while it's been a long time
since I've ridden a bike, it's been a really long time since
I've ridden a bike with one gear and no handlebar brakes.
A year or so ago our sister company rounded up some old bikes, fixed them up, painted them all a prominent ugly color, and made them available for employees to use. They didn't want theft-bait; all these bikes are very low end. I had a dentist's appointment today a mile up the road and figured riding would be faster than walking, which it certainly was. Fortunately for me, the collection includes at least one short-person bike; the standard size is too big for me.
It was nice to get out. Maybe I'll explore the bike trail down by the river.
