Our guess is that it had been 10 years since I'd been on a non-stationery bike, but it never dawned on me that riding through D.C. would pose any challenge. After the first 3 challenging minutes, when I wobbled on my bike and nearly caused a traffic jam, riding a bike was as natural, though not as easy, as it had been in my youth.
When I was young, I remember riding 100 bike laps around our home. It was no exercise or health challenge, but another personal test that I concocted.
Fortunately, Julia didn't reveal to me that we'd be riding off and on for 6 hours when we began our adventure. I didn't ask, and she didn't tell what route we'd complete. My wheels kept turning, enjoying each precious moment with my dear child.
Life beautifully unfolds when we seize special opportunities to keep literal and figurative wheels turning.
