BIke Lust II

This is a time of 2 bikes, one of little note and another that fits my growing geeky personality. My wonderful green and white bike was replaced with a brown 3 speed from Sears. Not much to say about a brown bike from Sears, it has none of the coolness of my previous bike, but it was a bike. We never bonded like I have with so many other bikes, I had different interests, it didn’t have it as bikes go. I had one really good crash on it, an over the handlebar type landing on my shoulder, I still have a nice scar from the road rash. So this bike is more of a foot note in my long bike history.


The other bike of the time is a bit embarassing to mention. Everyone was is a little odd during their middle school years right? I seem to have taken odd to the extreme. I dressed as Mork from Ork and had the unfortunate idea at the time that I would become a clown as my future career. So to get ready for that career my next bike was a unicycle. I certainly liked it better than the brown 3 speed, it spoke to the geek that was me at that moment in time.

I worked very hard to master one wheel. And to compound the difficulty level I learned to ride in deep gravel, just like with my other bikes. I could actually stay up a few feet, pedaling like crazy before the gravel and gravity slowed me and I fell.

I think I will just leave those two bikes at that, enough said, it was a strange time.
