Jeez

I have been listening to many of you recite different rites of passage. It is sort of amazing that none of you so far has mentioned something that I feel sure almost all of us - unless you are quite young - have done!

I am referring of course to learning to first ride a bike equipped with toe clips. Who among us has never cruised up to a stop, and then ignominiously tumbled sideways onto the ground because of forgetting to loosen the straps so that a foot can be removed???

At least it is a low speed event - any usually more embarrassing than physically hurtful.
