Dynamics of bike riding

It takes a certain amount of knowledge, a smattering of practice and some basic physical requirements. Obviously I was missing out on something...

Anybody who knows me would say that I'm a smart-mouth, smarty-pants, smarty-whatever-else-the-hell-they-can-think-of. They'd know that I've driven a lot of other kind of vehicles and have been driving since time immemorial.

So even anybody who doesn't know me can probably guess by now that its the third vital requirement that I failed to fulfil.

There have been times when I wished I wasn't the first one in line in school assemblies, or in the front row of the class photo with the class teacher instead of in the back with my friends. But it never irked me so poignantly until last night.

Last night, I developed a new respect for the "long-legged female".
