Well, I started to ride a bike and eat more fibre at the same
time....maybe there is something to that commercial. When I was
raising my kids my sons wanted DUKES OF HAZARDS and INCREDIBLE HULK
bikes and Big Wheels that were of the macho persuasion. My daughter
wanted a Strawberry Shortcake bicycle and a Cabbage Patch big
wheel....and everything had to be pink and have baskets and bells. My
boys wanted air horns. Personally I had hand me down bikes from my
brother because my father did not think a girl should ride a bike. I
had to wait for big bro to get a new one and he would let me ride his.
He made a tomboy out of me despite parental pushing to ballet shoes. So
things are getting better. We've come a long way baby.
Maggie.
