RIDIN' ON A BIKE

HEY HO HEY HO!

I wish I know how to ride a bike! I've tried, but even with the help of some friends, the experience is just painful, stressful and NOT FUN. But regardless, whenever I'm walking down the streets of the city, or I just look down on 12th street from my window, I always see cyclists ridin' around. There's the sporty peeps, the delivery guys, and just normal Americans riding around. One time I saw a mother one of those tandem bikes with 3 seats, carrying her son and daughter along the ride. Her kids were pedaling, but we should all know they're given more credit than they deserved, and the mom was fine with that. That's something I really want to do: ride a bike (pedaled by someone else) down streets of NYC. I can pretend to pedal, too, and reap the joys of riding without pedaling! If a mom can ride safely through the streets with her kids on the bike, I'm sure someone will be able to take me, too! Enough of the buses, cabs, subways, and plain walking. Think about the rush you get going down that semi-hill of Park Avenue at 4AM in the morning and inching near Union Square as we speak! I really don't think that's a moment to miss.
