Nice poem..
My son loves to ride to school (still with his dad jogging behind him every morning).. He traded in his old (little) bike with a new one (better match with his current size) with the money he received from family (especially grandparents) during the last 2 years.. I am preparing myself (read: dreading) for the time when he is ready to ride alone to school..
Good post, sam..

My modest ride reached 5 miles to the western part of this county many years ago. And then my father rode my bicycle a Murray with built in top tube headlights. I see them in New York but worry about the traffic. However I like it love. BC-A, Bill*s Cyberspace Hotlink

I can just see you out there talking to the bikes, polishing and shining them to a brightness according to the pleasure they bring you. Loved this.

Good idea to write a poem using bike imagery Shelly. What struck me was the reference to a rear mirror; a really brilliant idea. Not many bikes over here have rear mirrors; and they must be just as useful for cyclists as they are for motorists. Thanks for your visit and kind comment.

I like that! I wasn't sure what the object was until the end, so it was a riddle. Cool!

The new bicycle lanes in our town are so narrow! And the old lane lines
are still visible so they confuse us drivers. God help the bicyclists!
