Cycling to the Finish

My first memories regarding cycling take me back to when I was about 5 or 6 years old and my older brother (8 years old) was so kind to mentor me. The technique went something like this. You found a hill, and with precision, pushed the unsuspecting novice down it, and of course, the first commandment was to keep pedaling. Naturally, you needed a protective barrier at the bottom, which in our case was the garage. Unfortunately, it was not until my second lesson that I learned about brakes. I do not think this is what they had in mind when using the epigram of “hitting the wall.” It is amazing how your proficiency improves after a few scrapes and collisions.
