The day you first get handed your license from the DMV is one of the best time in any 16-18 year old's life. But, was it as exciting as riding a bike for your first time? I know, it's hard for most people to imagine the feeling of each in a comparable manner for both; with the time gap. Not that you all need more dirt on me, but I didn't learn how to ride a bike until I was in 8th grade. Yeah... So, that was about a four year difference for me, and I can tell you that riding a bike for the first time gives so much more of a satisfaction.
Think about it like this: you're driving, see something cool off to the side of the road, but can't see it up close due to vehicle restrictions. Now, imagine if you're riding a bike. You see a bald eagle flying, and you're chasing that bald eagle. I may be biased because I don't have a car. I walk and uber everywhere. (Now I have the song "Uber Everywhere" stuck in my head. You can enjoy that one on your free time and thank me later.) Believe it or not, I enjoy walking more. Not that I'm ready to walk 50 miles to the nearest Chick fil a but you see a lot more than you would have driving. My insect class is definitely what made the change in me. Read the "Bug Safari" blog of you haven't. Nature is great, I'll put it at that. The original point of the story is that the first bike streak down the road is life changing. It wasn't that I was riding an old tricycle until 8th grade, I had just never really rode bikes. Besides my Big Wheel when I was 4. I used to fly on that thing. You just don't get that same sense of satisfaction driving your first mile down the road. Can't say I've rode much bikes since but whether you choose to get out and walk or ride your Big Wheel around town, I'm for it. You might get made fun of for the second one, but that's besides the point.
