My Dad would tell me that if I could learn how to ride a bike in the gravel, I could ride anywhere. And so, on that fateful camping trip when I was far too old to have training wheels, I learned how to ride a bike down steep hills in slippery rocks. But hey, I never fell.
The bike frame was rusty and the tires were shredded but she was able to get it back into working condition in a few weeks. Because it was so old, she didn’t think that anyone else would want it, but one day she went outside to go to work and it was gone.

She follows on her bike, watching as his knuckles turn white over the handlebars of his, and his knees press his feet into the pedals. How long have they been pedalling?
Days.

When I was a little girl I had a two-wheeler. I have a picture of myself sitting on my bike with my hair in pincurls preparing for a procession. Probably had to get up in the middle of the night for that one. I believe my sister was sitting on the handlebars.

Down the hill we go, legs spread out, giving into gravity for a moment then pedaling faster-faster, standing up in triumph, speed whipping freedom
