An apt ..."My mind went pedaling back..." An apt introduction to a slice filled with just the right words to paint a picture of memory and amusement. <br /><br />It is a sure sign of quality writing when readers are inspired to try out their own similar stories. I particularly appreciate how you shared the original inspiration for this story--the seat, the missing seat, is such a great visual link.

I was particularly drawn to the way you crafted the lead and used words that demanded I read them out loud. So glad you are writing again this month. I hope someday we can talk in person, perhaps on a walk.<br />RuthRuth Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691244229499772525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-53467164205543482242013-03-02T01:55:04.031+11:002013-03-02T01:55:04.031+11:00Great chuckle this morning, Alan.

At first I was indignant that some seat thief had snatched your seat, but then I laughed when you revealed it was your daughter. At least the demise of your bike was close to home.

They brought to mind a rather cacophonous crash I had on my bike as an adult. Turning a corner, my handlebars nicked the cables that were strung from telephone pole to ground. I was flipped from the bike. Funny now, painful then. I wonder what bike stories my students could share?

Could write a book on those! Hey, that's an idea!Amy Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177520075043676835noreply@blogger.com
