It’s Funny When Memories Take You Back

I spent last weekend cleaning up the yard with the family. It is amazing how much stuff gets shoved into the garage, and how much crap builds up in the backyard over the winter months. It took a lot of work, but I must say, when all was said and done, the place looks great again.

I took the old mountain bike out of the garage and cleaned it up, checked the tires and the brakes, and went for a spin around the neighborhood. It was foggy while I was riding and I was immediately taken back to my college days in Hawaii.

Soon after I arrived in Hawaii, I purchased a bicycle to ride back and forth from the University. I saw others riding and thought it would be a cool way to fit in. Little did I know that most of those people were using motorized bicycles to get up and down the hills around the college.

After the first day I knew that I had to get a motorized bicycle or stop riding my bike to school. You see, the ride to the school was great, I could get there in about 15 minutes, it was all downhill. The ride home however took 2 hours and was uphill the whole way.

I had a great time living in Hawaii, but I never did find any bicycle engines while I was there. So where did everyone else get them?
