Grandma Red, Daredevil Biker by Grandma Redlich


When I was a young girl I loved to play baseball, but did not get a chance too often.  I was a pretty good batter  and pitcher. But , of course  !!! I was always excited if I thought there may be a chance to play baseball !   I loved to ride a bicycle but never owned one. My parents would not get one for me.  So if I could I would borrow one without them knowing it, or I would have been in trouble.  I borrowed a bike once from a girl I knew when I lived in Madison Park area. I was a teenager. I took a long ride by Lake washington on a road close by. I had a blast but my parents never knew I would have been in big trouble !  I was all alone riding . It was fun because I loved to ride.  Another time I talked my girlfriend to ride double  with me on the bike down the Lee street hill and it was very steep . We didnt stop until we went several blocks and almost ended up at the swimming hole. We went thru the cross streets fast if a car would have came along we could have been killed. I was a daredevil.  Just telling it now  makes me shudder !!!!!  Thank God I had my guardian angels on duty.  We dont realize  how many times we are protected !  Well I finally grew up and dont do those  kind of things anymore!!
