“don’t die don’t die don’t die don’t die”
I remember it used to be “Yay! Sunshine!” but that when I was smarter and mostly just leisurely toodled along bike paths in nice weather, with much lower risk of crashing*, lungs exploding, freezing to death, or being run over by cars than the stupid things I do now. So, um, thanks? for the inspiration, bike family.
*there was still the occasional crashing, to be totally honest here. In addition to also being picked last in gym class (though I had no classmates with polio to compete against) I was, accurately, voted “most clumsy” by my senior class in high school (while others were getting honors such as “most likely to succeed”, “most popular”, and “most likely to go to jail”), so that’s just to be expected.
