For years, I was sure I was the only adult who did not know how to ride a bicycle. It's not for lack of trying, but just never got the hang of it each time I made an attempt. Finally, I followed up on a news clip about a guy in New York who specializes in teaching adults to ride. The teacher's name is Terry Chin -- I took it as a sign that he and I shared a surname. After a series of three weekend lessons in Riverside Park with Terry and a hardy group of other slightly embarrassed adult learners, I was zipping along. Finally, I can ride the $40 refurbished bike I bought at a flea market years ago in hopes of someday learning to ride.
