The cat has sure heard this a time or ten. You humans spout it off at every den. "Just like riding a bike." That saying you sure seem to like. But do you think farther on it? Nope. What is that thinking shit?
Just like riding a bike.
You spout it when needed.
From adult to tyke,
In brains it is deeded.
The words, not the action.
For that's all you say.
Don't want to end up in traction,
So you don't go and replay.
Learning the bike.
That you must do.
Won't get a Farcebook like,
Or read about any how to.
You get on and try.
Crash. Boom. Bang.
You surely don't fly.
There may come a clang.
But try you do.
And try some more.
Then two by two,
You may start to soar.
Hmm went to birds.
Tabbies may have a fit.
They fly in herds.
Watch out for their shit.
Back to the bike.
Once learned it stays.
So that saying you like,
For one particular maze.
The doing you forget.
You chuck it aside.
You avoid any bet.
A bike you can ride.
So it should apply.
Apply to one and all.
The saying never does deny.
Follow the bouncing ball.
Let's read and pretend to know.
Be the best you can be.
Doing is such a hard go.
But it's like riding a bike for you and me.
Think further on it now? Did the cat ring a bell somehow? You didn't read how to ride and pretend to know. You got up and kept giving it a go. You learned through doing. Now to doing most go a shooing. But that saying is still given many a go. At least you can give off that flow. Hmm should I ask if you can ride one first? If you can't, that whole saying kinda does burst. I'll give that saying a pass, which is easy, because it is just like riding a bike, whoops, for my little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.

Delete#1 was your fate
Evening all
At every hall
I crashed and surely did fly for a few moments there!
ReplyDeleteDid you land safely though
DeleteThat is key to give a go
I've never learned to bike. Oops.
ReplyDeleteThe sayings is out
DeleteCan't use it when about
The good thing is you never forget once you learn.
ReplyDeleteAnd away you can go
DeleteFast or slow
Don't have a clue whether I can still ride a bike. It was fun way back then. Pat, have a great day.
ReplyDeleteFun before a car
DeleteThen it wasn't quite on par
A topic right up my aisle
ReplyDeleteI'll be riding in just a while
Doesn't matter if I go a mile
Being on my bike always makes me smile
The way to be
DeleteA smile for thee
Been a long time since I rode a bike, but I"m confident I could restart with a wobble and then roll along. Same with ice skates - I could balance and swish along slowly. Muscle memory is amazing. Nice rhyme today
ReplyDeleteMuscle memory sure can return
DeleteWith skates, stopping is one thing I'd still need to learn
Once you learn you don’t forget!
ReplyDeleteI guess the hard part is learning
I like to bike and small hikes!
Learning is the way
DeleteWe'll take walking at our bay
Some people never learn to ride that well.
ReplyDeleteNever learn to ride much
DeleteA bit off and such
I haven't ridden my bike in ages. It's hanging on a rack in the garage. It's so darn high, I can't get it down. :)
ReplyDeletehaha did that one purpose at your sea?
DeleteNow it just stares at thee
I have a bike but I haven't ridden in a few years. Tires are probably flat
ReplyDeleteFlat they go
DeleteSeep out ever so slow
Haven't been on a bike in years
ReplyDeleteIf I tried now, would I break a bone, I fear?
betty
Best to avoid then
DeleteNo broken bones at your den
When my son was little he took a pretty healthy bike crash. Trying to reassure us both, I said 'You're all right." He looked at me and said, "I am?"
ReplyDeletehaha tell him he is to make it so
DeleteI'll remember that at my show
I don't know that I could handle a bike ride!
ReplyDeleteThere is a cat here that goes for one
DeleteRides on the shoulder for fun
Learning through doing is how I like to do it.
ReplyDeleteThe best way
DeleteAny old day

ReplyDeletehaha did the FGS oblige him though?
DeleteHopefully she gave the steps a go
I don't think I've ever heard any action described by comparing it to riding a bicycle, except when they're saying something learned is never forgotten, like riding a bicycle.
ReplyDeleteI've heard people use it that way
DeleteEye roll sure comes to play

ReplyDeleteA mistake
DeleteYou did make?
Take A Hike To Ride A Bike!
ReplyDeleteTo wait looking for a strike
Perhaps unwieldy
But yet ever ready
Profound force many may not like
Hank
That it may not
DeleteCould be a plot
Sorry I make a mistake,
ReplyDeleteI learned to bike many years ago and was good until I suffered a fall really hard (problems in my back later) so I never try again.
I enjoy walk really xo
Walking is our go to way too
DeleteBack issues suck at any zoo
indeed :)
DeleteStole my word
DeleteIndeed absurd
When I was a kid I wanted a bike so bad,
ReplyDeleteBut my parents could not afford one so I was sad.
And then one day to my surprise
What did I see before my eyes?
A beautiful bicycle the color blue,
And I road and road my bicycle, wouldn't you?
That would be a grand surprise
DeleteHop on and away she flies
Oops! I spelled rode wrong. Flunked spelling.
Deletehaha oh well
DeleteGot it where we dwell
My husband is an avid biker. I fricken' hate riding them. He gets so mad that he bought me a bike and I refuse to ride with him lol
ReplyDeletelol I'm with you
DeleteHate it at my zoo
I never could ride a bike, I now know why I have/had Epilepsy....not safe to ride.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Yeah, sure not safe indeed
DeleteThere at your feed
One can take a hike
ReplyDeleteif they ask me to ride a bike.
Off they'd go
DeleteHeigh ho, heigh ho
