I so miss riding a bike here in San Miguel, but the cobblestones are hard enough to walk on and then add in the steep hillsides and it is darn near impossible.<br /><br />I used to ride my bike all over the place, to the grocery store and everything when I <br />lived in Nassau Bay, across from NASA. It gives you a freedom that even a car doesn't give you.......<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-55384501885349876332015-09-19T14:29:02.935-05:002015-09-19T14:29:02.935-05:00Wow!

After spending an entire day falling off (no training wheels), the next day I was seemingly magically able to ride. And what freedom! One can cover so much more ground on a bike than on foot. This truly opens a new chapter in your grandkids' lives. <br /><br />You are so lucky to have them, and to have such wonderful friends who gave the bikes. <br /><br />Saludos,<br /><br />Kim G<br />Boston, MA<br /><i>Where we still enjoy bike riding.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-29390472413093562512015-09-19T12:36:48.400-05:002015-09-19T12:36:48.400-05:00Peter and Shelagh - Indeed, the generosity of peop...Peter and Shelagh - Indeed, the generosity of people always amazes me. I've been blessed to have met these dear friends!<br /><br /><br />Shelagh, your memory is wonderful. I can relate as at age 10 I was living in Chicago, where one did not get out to ride bikes until about April, if lucky..........Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-68996284496326579682015-09-19T11:58:20.496-05:002015-09-19T11:58:20.496-05:00My brother and I received our bikes for Christmas ...My brother and I received our bikes for Christmas at ages 10 and 12. We were excited beyond belief. We rode them up and down the hallways of the apartment building. We lived in Montreal and the snow was piled high for many months before we could go outside with the bikes!<br />Your friends are very kind people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340754457769990679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-66772095483460541592015-09-19T11:47:56.498-05:002015-09-19T11:47:56.498-05:00What a riot!
