Miriam taught a whole gang of kids to ride one summer day in ’72
On the promise of a Play Street from sunrise to sunset
A ‘One bike fits all step-through challenge’
With linked circle of supporting hands
Momentum and direction (of sorts) from gridded Victorian Middlesbrough
Four left turns and one crash into a parked caravan later
Inspired !
I have not look back since
One long ride from Boro to Brooklyn from Sandy Bank to Santiago
Some pushes last a lifetime
The taste of fresh air & freedom leaves you wanting more
Sometimes with flies mostly with friends

100 Words from Matthew Welton
What I remember about physics is that each thing has its own properties.
Fit a bike with rubber tyres, you might get the occasional puncture but you’ll have a generally comfortable ride.
Stay away from the A-roads and you stay away from the traffic, plus you’ll probably get an uninterrupted view of uninterrupted village lanes.
A film that shows the everyday life of an East Midlands city might, when seen in an East Midlands cinema, demonstrate something you’d have to be there to understand.
Put the effort into riding your bike uphill, you get to freewheel down the other side.
