I miss biking whenever I see friends on Facebook who enjoy cycling for recreation. It’s been decades since I learned to ride a bike, and it’s not even my own. When I was younger, I would go to the park with friends to rent bikes and spend hours enjoying the cool breeze.

Last week, my daughter and I purchased our first bikes. The bikes are surplus items from Japan.

The sturdy-looking bikes are foldable and can be taken comfortably to parks.

My daughter and I are determined to learn to use it (sadly, with 30 years of not riding a bike, I have to relearn to balance).

We are looking forward to more time for practice and eventually enjoy biking in the neighborhood.
