The Epiphany

I was driving home one day, a short time after I'd started this adventure, when I realized that I had set about this biking thing all wrong.

You see, to get to my house you have to drive down a steep hill with a pretty sharp curve halfway down it.  As I was braking down the hill and in anticipation of the turn, it suddenly hit me:





Biking is like driving, in that you BRAKE to control your speed!



It is *not* like skiing, where you FALL to control your speed!


(Ok, yes, there may be one or two *other* techniques to slow down while skiing, but that's the one that works for me.)

I believe Dave reacted thusly when I told him of my epiphany:

  1. Hahah I used to fall to control my speed on almost every sport I played.

  2. Me too. That's why I never excelled at skating or roller-blading, or sledding, or soccer...basically anything that required both speed and dexterity.

  3. Custom apparel designs are increasingly popular among both small businesses and individual creators. Many are turning to innovative methods to achieve high-quality results, and one such technique is dtf printing. This method offers vibrant colors and durable prints, making it a preferred choice for many. As technology advances, the accessibility of dtf printing is expected to grow, opening new opportunities for entrepreneurs and artists alike.
