FINALLY!!! Someone let me out of my cage.
Now, time for me is nothing cause I'm counting no age.

Now I couldn't be there, now you shouldn't be scared I'm good at repairs and I'm under each snare. Intangible, bet you didn't think so I command you to. Panoramic view. Look I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose, sit and lose, all you different crews. Chicks and dudes who you think is really kicking tunes? Picture you getting down in a picture tube, like you lit the fuse. You think it's fictional, mystical? Maybe. Spiritual hero who appears in you to clear your view when you're too crazy....oh sorry...I love that song....

lol, "once I stop falling". I hear you about the bike-friendly thing. Texas is very bike-unfriendly, so that even when I get my hip replaced, I'll be trucking my bike to a park for good riding ... the roads here are narrow and the drivers out here in the country, well, they all have a beer between their knees. Yeah, no thanks.

Lol, Charlotte is far more "socialist" than all of Texas, except maybe Austin. You need socialism as Americans define it to start building bike infrastructure.

For the record, you seem like a pretty amazing gal, to me.

TSQ, the secret not to fall on a bike, is to ride it fast
Hint #1: The faster you go, the more difficult it is to fall....

But then you have the part where you do have to stop.
I've found that it's important to set the seat at a convenient height. Some "experts" will tell you that you don't need to reach the ground with your foot, when your ass in on that seat.... Bollocks! I feel more confident when I can easily put a foot down while still moving.
Yes, that means that the seat is a tad on the low side and makes for a more difficult pedaling. Don't care!

Hint #2: keep the front wheel straight. I remember, a long time ago, as I was trying to ride a bike after not riding one for decades... the word the guy used for me was "rickety". When starting a ride, while still going slowly, as I felt out of balance, I moved the front wheel to compensate, somehow.... and failed miserably! So there I was turning the front wheel left, then right, then left, then fuck it I'm down!
Keep it straight.

So, I know everyone says that, but that's not true when you're already unbalanced. You WILL fall.

Also, no one ever told me that moving your front wheel helps you stay balanced. Because all everyone said was "move forward". If I've learned anything as an adult, it's that it's actually harder to learn how to ride a bike than people say, they just forget because they usually learn how to at a young age.

So sorry to contradict what you say, but you have to do some things to compensate for others. Then you keep it straight.

I just need practice on a track that doesn't have a fucking drop off point at the side. The bike fits me well, it has a comfy saddle and I can put the whole ball of my foot down if I need to. The problem was I was too close to the edge of the boardwalk and BOOM.

Seriously, the reason riding a bike is usually easy to learn is because your mom/dad is there holding you up until you've got it down. Get a helper. Once you've got a feel for it, riding a bike is easy. But when you're not used to it you're going to fall. It hurts worse to fall when you're an adult. Get one of those people who've been hassling you to learn to come out and hang on to your bike until you get the hang of it.

I was always too afraid to fall off.
