The way I rode my bicycle that woulda lasted about five minutes. What ever happened to playing cards and a clothes pin? I thought it was cool for about as long as two cards lasted. We were hard on our bikes. We rode trails up and down the hills they made when they dredged out the bayou. The cows had meandered around across them, so, there was a path beaten in them. Musta been at least a half mile.. Up and down, hill after hill. Every Spring, from when the berries started ripening till they were gone. There was a huge bunch of berries down toward the end. Today, parents would go to jail for the way I was raised. And we had jumping competitions and then one day the county sent a truck out , scooped out a long wide ditch. It was clay, and it rained right after.. So we got our bikes up to full speed and rode into it, played it down and just slid.. better than any slip and slide I ever saw.. Having the only house for five blocks, across the street from the bayou, a neighborhood with about twelve boys close enough in age to be able to get a football or baseball game up, man, that was a fine six years. Ever climb a pine tree and just throw your legs out and make it lean over? Just the right size will set you right on the ground... Or, it'll snap, don't ask how I know..
