Bike Riding in Paris

I've been a little leery of bike riding through out this tour. I have gone bike riding so much since I was child, so I was worried about my sense of balance. All right, I've never been the most graceful ballet dancer on the stage. The truth is, though I always wanted to take dance lessons, I only attempted toe dancing once or twice when I was a child. I'm thankful that I haven't fallen off a bike one on this tour. The only thing that bathers me is that the bikes aren't motor cycles. Of course, if the were then I'd be disappoint because they weren't Harley's. Paris is a lovely city to ride any type of bike in plus there is the food and the coffee.

Riding down a tree lined path,
baguettes, cheese, and ham
if I can't have coffee with my meal
I'll take a bottle of water instead of wine.

Eiffel Tower

Looking down on the City of Lights
With Paris spread out below me
I realize that life is good.
