Road Biker Wheels In Place Of Wings

Road Biker Wheels In Place Of Wings

Any kid growing up who gets his or her first bicycle instinctively knows that this event signals their crossing of some mythical threshold into freedom. Once balance has been mastered and a child first escapes a parent's guiding hand the freedom to fly away takes hold and their journey thru life begins.

There is no invention like that of a bicycle and poets will tell you that the wheels of a bicycle are given to use in place of wings. Every child who rides a bike imagines that they are flying and can travel over the ground ever faster and farther than before, that its possible to sail passed the moon as though they are Elliot from the movie ET.

For us all the sense of freedom and flying that we gained from riding bicycles as children will never be lost.  For those of us who continue to ride we renew our sense of freedom and enjoyment with every turn of our pedals, every spin of our wheels. We still believe we can fly.
