“We'd Like to Thank All the Dads Who Taught Their Kids to Ride a Bike” was the subject line of an email I received today from Pearl iZumi. I'm pretty sure it was the kids in my neighborhood who taught me to ride. I do know for sure that it was my privilege to teach each of these young ladies, now 19 (Carly) and 23 (Abby) – pictured on each other's bicycles in 1997 🙂
I'll never forget running up & down the street with them, holding them by their shirt collars, very glad I had given up my sedentary lifestyle.
