Yay for the freedom of biking young! Somehow I knew I would love biking even before I knew how to ride. I'm glad the fall didn't put you off riding.

A dance teacher from Bulgaria did say that the back-and-forthness of folk dances is a statement about life. I had never thought of it that way before she said it.

There's an interesting thing about muscle memory. Older folk dancers who mostly dance with smaller steps and less energy, revert to their youthful energy levels when they do a favorite dance from when they were young. Not sure how much I've slowed down so far...
