Day One

Photobucket

This is the day I rode my bike home from Inner City Cycles on Glebe Point Rd (they put my bike together for me, and are cool dudes, thanks!)

I hadn't ridden a bike for years before this, and all of my previous biking memories involved bruises, banged shins, and almost riding into Cooks River... so, understandably, i was a little nervous at first- wondering just how insane i was to buy a bike and not be sure i could actually ride it (hello training wheels, haha)

By the time i made it safely home, where this pic was taken by my housemate who has herself now caught the cycle bug, i was hooked... couldn't wait to head out again on my two wheels!

I wonder now what it was that seemed so scary about bike riding when i was a kid?
