Riding a bike and rollerblading. Once your learn you never forget. Is that really true??? |
It's not true for rollerblading at least not for me. I bought rollerblades last summer. Didn't do it in many years and I couldn't do it!!! I mean I use to go far too, for miles even in the dark I was that good but why is it that I can't do it now? They are good blades that have been sitting in my closet for a year. Should I try again? And it's been even longer since I rode a bike but I really want to start up again. I'm 30 now last time I rode a bike I was 12. I never even rode a real adult's bike! I always had a children's bike. I use to ride all the time but I fell really bad after going down a hill really fast, and after that I stopped riding. I need to do some kind of exorcise. I hate gyms and lifting weights and I don't run. I use to be active doing this stuff, how can I get back into doing it without really hurting myself? I am scared of falling and breaking something. Would I be able to ride any bike again if I got on one? Try buying some protective gear for rollerblading. (Knee and elbow pads, wrist braces, maybe a helmet.) Often when you get older, worry that you might hurt yourself makes you too slow and cautious, which makes it nearly impossible to rollerblade. It's like riding a bike going real, real slow--so hard only the highly skilled can do it. At least that's what I've heard. I don't rollerblade, so that's just hearsay. It's true about bikes. My family sold my too-small bike when we moved. I was 8. At the new place, only the geeks rode bikes, so I did not allow them to get me a replacement. Fast-forward to adult me on a vacation, nearing 40. We rented bikes. I was highly dubious. It took me under three minutes to get it back. That is true, but when it comes to swimming it's not true. I forgot how to swim. That is true, but when it comes to swimming it's not true sadly. Rollerblading... you might forget but i dont think you can forget how to ride a bike. Ice skating is easy to forget how to do though. Yes yes its true, its all about comfort level. after you learn initially and are comfortable with it then your over the fear of falling thats what the phrase is talking about. |
