Cycling

Two days in a row of blogging for all abilities welcome? Must be some kind of record. In response to the blog post I wrote yesterday in my blog "Great things about being blind"
http://kimgia3.blogspot.com
which I also posted here, I had some questions about some of the sports so am explaining about them in more detail.
Today, cycling.
In future days, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, etc.
Here is the post about cycling.
Yesterday, I wrote about the sports I choose and why. One of the ones I mentioned was cycling and people asked me a little about that. I got my first bike as a toddler. A tricycle. I still remember it. I used to ride it independently around in front of our town houses with all of my friends.I would listen to the sounds of their bike wheels and their chatter and laughter and follow by sound.I was puzzled that I seemed to be the only one who fell off the curb or rode into the garden.but, I continued to ride it.Then, when I was about 5, I got a two wheeler with training wheels on it.I could ride it with training wheels on.I liked it because it had streamers on my handle bars and a bell and a great seat.I rode it up and down the driveway but couldn't balance well when the training wheels came off.Some kids teased me that I still had the training wheels on.when I was about 8, we got a tandem bicycle.It was heavy and had almost no speeds but there were no other tandems in our neighbourhood.Now, they are much more common. We would be riding around. I would be on the back listening to the sounds around me.I would often hear, "Oh cool. Look at the double bike."I've cycled tandem on and off ever since.Not so much since getting my guide dogs.I have a stationery bike here at home and use it regularly too.
