Lies Society Has Taught Me

Whoever coined the phrase "like riding a bike," to mean something that was easy, and one never forgets, was either a liar or an idiot.

I recently picked up a bicycle, and wanted to try it as an alternative transportation method to-and-from school, and help out with the time I've spent going to the gym.

Sunday, I decided to make my first bicycle trip to campus. I had a calculus test in the afternoon, and thought it would be a good opportunity to get used to things.

I got about ten feet before I fell over in an uncomfortably twisted pile on my neighbor's lawn.

Were you wearing those Kryptonite football pads you had in high school? You know, the ones that turned your normally robust skeleton into sugar candy at 0 degrees Celsius?

LOL! I know this is old, but I have to say I can relate, being not much a bicycle person myself. In fact, as an exchange student in Japan, I ran over some perfectly harmless little old man with a cane while riding the shiny new bike my host family bought me. I couldn't find the brakes.

They took the bike away from me that night.

Two days later, they let me drive the car.
