How to Ride a Bike

Re: How to Ride a Bike

I can whistle the regular way by blowing (or inhaling) with my lips puckered but can't figure out how to make the real shrill whistle that people make by putting 2 fingers on their lips.

I could never do that. My dad does it and I can never do it!

Thats what my dad does. He would whistle and you could hear it all the way down the street.

My buddy can pinch his bottom lip together with two fingers and suck in to make this insanely high-pitched whistle. I have no idea how he does it.

I just remember learning that I tried riding in grass so it didn't hurt when I fell

The funny thing is once you start pedaling and got your balance you can explode from there by the minute. The only other moments where you have concern for the first time is riding in traffic or going over bridges and things to that effect. I remember the first time we all decided to go into Manhattan by riding over the Washington Bridge and I'm not going to lie , I was scared at first. You got cars doing "35" on your left (them guys actually be hitting 50 when they aren't supposed to be) and you got the river on your right with you sitting higher than the wall that's supposed to keep you from going over. After that first day I was flying on the bridge daily like it was nothing.

You can actually see the two places I've lived in this pic. When I came back to NY I lived in the building to the far left but I grew up in the building you can barely see directly underneath the arch on the right in the background. Of the times of ill-spent youth. Even in my early "adult" years I would ride my bike from the building on the left to my parents crib in the building under the arch for a free meal while in college

Looks nice! Is that the Washington Bridge?

Youtube it or have a kid (i'm being serious) show you how. I actually learned how to juggle off the internet, many years ago. I still can't twirl a pen around my thumb though. That just looks cool.

Yep, not the George Washington Bridge though, the Washington Bridge.
Yes there is a difference so any visitors don't forget. One bridge will take you from the Bronx to Manhattan the other takes you to NJ. Infact you can take one to get to the other.

I can't do the pen thing either, I also could never figure out how to whistle with 2 fingers

So what's the "first name" of this bridge?

I don't know how to ski, roller blade or ice skate. My wife can't either plus she can't swim.

Same here. And my wife can't swim either. What are the odds?
