When I was a child I owned several bikes. My wonderful parents provided with them throughout my childhood and I rode frequently.
My first one was a little green jobbie with training wheels given to me in Mare Island in Vallejo, California. I still recall the thrill of my first ride, one of many over the years.
Oh, how miss those long gone days of my youth and the innocence and the freedom from responsibility. My daddy always told me he was the best friend I would ever have.
He was right.
Today is World Bicycle Day. It's a day for recognizing the bicycle for it's two centuries of utility, recreation, and down right fun.
This day was set aside by the anuses of the United Nations General Assembly as International World Bicycle Day in April of 2018.
