He can mount his trusty Trek at a dead stand still or at a running leap! He can ride in tiny circles that will make you dizzy! He can race over pinecones and gum burrs without even a waver. Do you need two feet to ride a bike? Not Harry! Two hands, one hand, no hands…it doesn’t matter! Steady as you go..I will just have to say it, “ He is a rootin’, tootin’ bicycle cowboy! And that’s a fact!”
My biking skills are quite the opposite of Harry’s. I came to biking at the mature age of 10. For my ninth birthday in October, in Northern Illinois…I got a full sized 29” bike. It was way too large for me and the weather turned cold almost right after the celebration so I did not even try to ride it. In the spring of my 9th year my dad got some two inch blocks for my pedals. They were not stable blocks but rotated around when I tried to pedal. Meanwhile, my younger by three years, brother, Rick learned to ride on the neighbor boy’s small 16 inch bike. That spring he was racing around, jumping jumps …just another , bicycle rodeo circuit rider, traveling all over the neighborhood but I was not riding because my bike was still too large for me.
Spring of my tenth year I had grown into my bike so I could join the bicycle rider ranks. So today…I still have to have my right pedal in the correct position to start and I rarely wave with my hand off the handlebars. I usually just wave to passers by using the southern tradition

Harry has always been a little bit crazy!!! Just don’t get in his way! M.E.
Ha! I know what you mean!
Great pics! Glad Dad’s stunts didn’t put him in the ER. Those are forbidden on camping trips!
We are having a great time, Michelle!
Certainly don’t want either of us to be in the emergency room!
You guys look like kids – having a good ole time.
