What is it about riding your bike home at sunset that makes you feel like you are ten years old again?  I just rode home from downtown and I tell you I felt invincible.  Now I know I am not, but something about the wind blowing past your ears, letting the wheels take you down the hills and having confidence in your little pumping legs that is like no other feeling.

Now, I am not a serious bike rider.  I truly from the depths of my soul have no interest in mountain biking, road racing or even “clipping in” at spin class.  But riding home from downtown or just riding home in general gives you such a feeling of nostalgia.  I know who is waiting for me when I get there.  My heart is pumping and my hair is blowing.  I know the porch light will be on and I will be welcomed.  I know my place in the world and I am physically moving myself through space to be there.  Yep, bikes are okay.

Smile and breathe and I’ll talk to you tomorrow xxoo
