I guess bikes are on the mind around here these days. How many posts can we write about bikes?
Well, to be honest, I’m actually not much of a biker. I’m a bit wobbly, I am always worried I’m going to crash, and going too fast down a hill just gives me slightly less time to imagine all of the many ways I could go skidding across the pavement. It’s that whizzing slightly above the surface of the earth that I find so unnerving. I’m not super great with heights, either. So when I came across this video (via, Rafe, thank you! And check out his link…, he does amazing work) I watched it with fascination and terror.
And also some pleasing butterflies in my throat. Maybe I just need a bike like this for some serious immersion therapy and I’ll be just fine.




Robbi,
I too, am such a dork on a bicycle. I have to have fat wheels and even then, I just don’t feel free and easy. Not sure why that is, cuz we lived on them when I was a kid.
Needless to say, I was not happy when my son built a motorized bike. Thankfully, he sold it. He LOVED this video, though, which I stupidly forwarded to him…
