September 4, 2022 By Bonnie Parrish-Kell

Photo of children growing up on bicycles with text "We had no idea how good we had it and no clue that we were the last ones."

Growing up on a bicycle influenced the person I am today. Pedaling up and down the streets of my neighborhood, I'd waved at retirees tending their flowers. I saw many manicured lawns and occasional yards with well-loved weeds. I learned which neighbors had dogs (and the ones who let them run loose!). As I got older, I would venture further from home.

Last Monday, I came oh-so-close to signing up for the Mesquite Madness bicycle road ride set for today. My finger hovered over the "Register" button as a wild array of thoughts whirled around in my brain. Among them: "Oh man, you're not ready to ride 20 miles, much less this 35-mile citizen ride."
