I used to love "I will survive"! I used to go to a local car park that was always empty, and cycle round and round and round while singing that song :) (I was about ten)

Amie I think it deserves a poem (or a at least a nursery rhyme :
Round and round and round
Riding  a  red little bike
One two three four five
Amie on the parking lot
etc...)

Tom, yes these videos are great, and the second one I found deeply moving.

Oh My Gosh Catherine---I almost felt tears welling up watching those videos they are so inspiring. Thank you for sending them along. Amie I did the same thing on my bike to "Love is a Many Splendored Thing"  Bicycle Dancing---do you think there is such a thing? I'll look via YouTube. It could get to be an Olympic sport.

Hi everyone! I hope I don't appear to be ignoring anyone - something funny is going on with my account, and some posts aren't always visible to me. Tom is looking into it for me. I thought originally my posts had been deleted, but now it seems that they are sometimes visible (to me) and sometimes not - and similarly sometimes I can see someone else's post, and sometimes it seems to be gone. A similar thing happened on BWF (not with my posts, but wrt the posts I could see), so hopefully I haven't got a virus :(

Anyway - bike dancing, yes - one of my favourite childhood pastimes :)
