As I prepare to facilitate my first in-person therapy group at the hospital since the beginning of the pandemic, I’m thinking of the saying “it’s just like riding a bicycle.”
“It’s just like riding a bicycle” — referring to things we used to do but haven’t done in a while — is meant to be reassuring. However, for me, riding a bicycle is tiring, uncomfortable, and possibly dangerous (because I’m on anticoagulant medication). So I hope that doing my group today is NOT just like riding a bicycle.
Do you see anything that’s just like riding a bicycle in my images for today?

I hope that getting into work on October 17, 2022 is not just like riding a bicycle (or a bus) but rather like riding a working car, because I had to call AAA three times yesterday when my car wouldn’t start. The last AAA person, who replaced the battery but also said that my alternator is going, said “Your car has a 1000% chance of starting tomorrow.”
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “it’s just like riding a bicycle.”

If you haven’t left a comment for a while, it’s just like riding a bicycle.
Thanks to all who helped me create this “it’s-just-like-riding-a-bicycle” post, including YOU.
May today be the first of many happy returns, Ann.
It was, Mark, and I am so happy that you continue to return here.
Of course. https://youtu.be/xt0V0_1MS0Q
Of course!
I didn’t learn to ride a bike until 4th grade. Other kids made fun of me for that but after seeing a friend on a bike get hit by a car I wasn’t eager to learn. I feel safer in a car but I still prefer to let someone else do the driving.
Be seeing you, Ann.
I see you, Chris.
I sometimes crash and tip over when riding my bike, but I put on a bandaid and get on it again. my grandsons told me that I had reached ‘almost moderate’ level by the end of summer. I’ll take it!)
It’s just like you to be riding a bicycle like that, beth!
I do hope your car cooperated! I hadn’t realized that you had been remote from your groups all this time. What a big step to move back to in-person. What an adjustment. ❤️
My car did cooperate on Monday and now it’s getting a rest waiting for a new alternator. Thanks for your empathy always, Debra.
