Learning to ride a bike is something most people can relate to. Sometimes it starts with training wheels and a lot of practice. Others may have been pushed by their parents down the road until they could balance. Still others may have learned on a grassy hill. Whatever the method, most people don’t forget how to ride a bike. But most still have an experience crashing a bike. We have a story from Donna Ingham today about riding (and crashing) a bike during a trip to Europe despite her confidence, along with stories from Laura K. Deal, Fran Yardley, Jenni Cargill Strong, and others.
