" No matter how one may think himself accomplished,
when he sets out to learn a new language, science, or the
bicycle, he has entered a new realm as truly as if he were a
child newly born into the world."

- Frances Willard, How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle
Monday.
Frances Willard is onto something. Yea, i know how to ride a bike, but do I? Lon and Lance make it look easy, i make it look, well, like work. I think it is time to re-learn. I heard once that John Wooden, of basketball coaching fame, used to start the first practice of the season by teaching his players how to tie their shoes. Learning from that, i tied my shoes correctly for the first time today. Perhaps tomorrow i will re-learn how to straddle the bike..?
