:eek::eek::eek: **Here’s my toothpick, NAF.** [This](http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/bike_path/hybrid/7500/) is this year’s model of my personally favorite bike. I’ve owned 3 in the past 10 years (I’ve had some bad luck with theft…) ---

Look NAF, no hands! hijack/ About to hop on a plane, I’ll be gone for a while but I should be back in a reasonable amount of time. Unless of course I end up in a ball of flaming metal falling from the sky. If that happens, I am going to take back my toothpick from Santo, because _technically_ it’d be sky diving. And don’t nitpick because I was a day or two late…/hijack ---

> [@Santo\_Rugger](#): > > **NAF, no offense, but you are now officially a loser.** That’s cool. I have wanted to learn, but it’s just something that never happened. I wasn’t interested when I was little, then when I was about 8 and my friends were riding bikes I was to embarrassed to do the training wheels thing (that lasted until I was a teenager) so I rode a skateboard instead. Now I just can’t seem to find the time or money to make it happen. ---

> [@NAF1138](#): > > I wasn’t interested when I was little, then when I was about 8 and my friends were riding bikes I was to embarrassed to do the training wheels thing Me too, pretty much, though I was a bit younger (it was the summer before starting school, I think) and I don’t think I ever had training wheels. But I certainly remember being embarassed to learn at my advanced age. **My mother was quite insistent, though** , and I can’t say I’m upset over losing this toothpick. There were any number of occasions growing up that would have been extremely awkward and embarassing had I not been able to ride a bike like the rest of my peers. ---

> [@NAF1138](#): > > … I rode a skateboard instead. Now I just can’t seem to find the time or money to make it happen. If it makes ya feel any better, I can’t ride a skateboard. I have really good balance (I wrestled for years before I played rugby), but when you put wheels under my feet I don’t know what to do! As for the money, check out CraigsList or a thrift store. I scored a sweet set of Master Grip irons and woods, a Callaway driver, and a really nice bag for $5 at the thrift store. I asked the gal up front, “How much do you gals want for that set of clubs back there?” She replied, “Five dollars.” I asked, stunned, “Are you sure?!” She snapped, “Five dollars is what I sell golf clubs for!” As for the time issue… yeah, can’t help you with that one! ---

\*\*I even had a Bugs Bunny helmet. \*\* Needless to say, I haven’t ridden a bike since primary school. ---
