Red-letter day
Jul. 25th, 2010 03:42 pmI rode a bicycle. Repeat. I rode a bicycle.
I'm over at Argonne, and they have all these communal bikes in the parking lots for the scientists to get from one building to another. And the Scientist actually got me on a bike and I pedaled it around the nearly-empty parking lot. He even let go of it (without my knowing) and I kept it moving. Granted, I have no idea how to make a tight turn without having to put my foot down for balance, but still. I rode a bicycle.
And I only had a slight anxiety attack while doing it, and only a little post-adrenaline freakout afterwards. Hey, this is a decades-long fear for me, people.
