Calvin think of it as a sled on wheels, all you have to do is pedal it and off you go.

Calvin, I’m gonna raise the bar on you: I learned to ride a MOTORCYCLE before I learned to ride a bicycle. Oh, the places I’ve been and the fun and adventures I’ve had! Celebrating 48 years in the saddle this month!

My uncle taught me to ride at 7 yo by putting me on a bike and pushing me down a hill. As I screamed that I didn’t know how to stop, he yelled “pedal backwards!” — I yelled “it won’t go backwards!!!” and crashed into a ditch.

Just kidding. I’m more of a wimp than he is and I’m 20!
