> When I was young I had a trike and a scooter with two wheels. The first time I had a bike my father pushed me off and I rode all the way down the street. Now I know the bike took care of me and I didn't have great balance learned on the scooter!-The first time I rode my new bike I had great balance for a long straightaway, just no steering or stopping ability. I ran into the back of a tractor trailer and near cut my head off! Same thing happened a few months later when I rode a horse for the first time. Had great balance for a long straightaway, even galloped! But no stopping or steering ability as the pony ran me under a clothesline, and again, nearly cut my head off. Were the first of many attempts to decapitate myself for many years. If reincarnation has any merit, I may have been decapitated in a recent lifetime or possibly even the executioner?
