Looking back, I guess it was because I made so many mistakes along the way. I'm a slow learner - let me tell you about it! I learned to ride a bike the hard way - not so much riding as crashing. I had a lot of setbacks along the way. Finally, I learned the keys to making cycling safe, easy and fun - and somewhere along the way, I became a cyclist!
