Get on your bike and don't fall off

The coronavirus has taken a whack at many industries, including the bicycle industry, during the past many months.
If you're still trying to purchase a bike, used or new, GOOD LUCK.
I'm in the market for a new bike and have been told by many bicycle shop owners that it is very difficult to find a used or new bike for purchase.
Bicycles are a popular means of transportation for some people in Blooming Prairie. Judy and I each had a bicycle but during a weak moment at one of our garage sales, we sold the bikes.
Blooming Prairie is the home of many bicycle enthusiasts. It's enjoyable to see the different bicyclists go by. All have their different bikes, two-wheel, three-wheel, electric and recumbent. Riders also have different riding styles.
I remember learning how to ride a bicycle, borrowing my older sister's bike, a rather large bike with lots of miles on it. I picked up some road rash in the process of learning some riding skills.
Since we lived on a small dairy farm just two miles west of Corning, I had lots of open land in which to practice bike riding.
As I came to an end of my ride, I dismounted bravely by jumping off and dropping the bike to the ground. As I became more confident, I was able to engage the broke by standing and hitting the bike.
I even learned some tricks while bike riding and often would give my pet pigeon "Freddy" a ride on the bicycle seat. I would even give some neighbor friends a "buck" on the handle bars.
My bike riding days diminished as I learned how to drive a car.
As we had children, Troy and Tammi, it was a must to get bikes for them. Both got high-speed bikes and bicycled circles around mom and dad.
Maybe, the most fun I have had in my later years has been teaching the grandchildren how to ride a bike. It was stressful but at times very rewarding.
Our oldest granddaughter Kaley quickly picked up the knack of staying on the bike for a long length of time.
I remember having both of them on bikes and trying to carefully maneuver their bikes.
One time, both were headed in opposite directions when Kaley decided to turn and then ended head-on with Jenna. I thought the crash killed them both. Thankfully, it only hurt their pride and mine, too.
Our third grandchild, Ryan, decided to learn how to ride bike on his own. That was maybe a good idea since he didn't pick up any of our riding habits.
I'm still searching for a bike and have seriously been looking at a recumbent bike. Friends Nels and Vonnie Lee both have recumbents and Nels graciously let me ride his recumbent. I love it.
A recumbent road bike is a bike that has a reclining seat and backrest that makes the rider lean on the seat completely. The pedals of the bike are placed in front of the feet, instead of right below the seat, so it needs you to extend your legs in order to reach the pedals.
Wikipedia says recumbents are available in a wide range of configurations, including: long to short wheelbase; large, small, or a mix of wheel sizes; overseat, underseat, or no-hands steering; and rear wheel or front wheel drive. A variant with three wheels is a recumbent tricycle.
