I am just this small-town Canberra girl that's taken riding a little kid's bike on dirt tracks to the highest level.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I rode my bike to school every day from age five to age fourteen. It was a small town - you could go anywhere.
I like to dirt bike ride, four wheeler, go-kart.
My wife and I, we like to ride where there's not much traffic.
I love rides. I'm such an immature person.
I bike everywhere.
That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride, because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.
I've got two bikes that get me everywhere I need to go. And public transportation.
On a bike, being just slightly above pedestrian and car eye level, one gets a perfect view of the goings-on in one's own town.
I'd love to say that I'm this brave person doing this big adventure and that it's easy. The truth is, the night before I left, I called my mom, crying and nervous, thinking, 'What am I getting into? Can I really ride my bike across the country?'
As a kid from Texas, it always amazes me when city kids don't know how to ride a bike.
