Outdoor Adventure Time!, Tuesday, period 1

Class met at the Portalocity office, today, where Eliot and Parker waited.

"So we're gonna do somethin' slightly different, today," Eliot said, bouncing ever so slightly on his toes. God, but he loved having two functional legs. "Basically a field trip."

“We’ll be grabbing water, sunscreen, snacks and so on when we get there,” Parker added, looking pretty buzzed. “Hurry up! Last one through winds up in Budapest!”

"That's not true." Eliot really hoped it wasn't true, he was going to take the end of the line and he never much liked Budapest. "Parker, no sending anyone to Budapest!"

Parker snickered. Eliot, you just stay easy.

When they got through the portal, they’d find themselves at the beginning of the Virginia Creeper Trail, with mountain bikes, safety equipment, and extra supplies waiting.

"Welcome to the Virginia Creeper Trail," Eliot said. "One of the longest continuous biking trails around. It's got somethin' for everyone, nice scenery, historic railroad bridges, some easy rides -- and some sharp downhills for you speed demons."

“Okay! Whoever has never ridden a bike before, stick with Eliot. He’ll help you out.” She gave them her most manic grin. “If you have, super. Get set up!”

"That includes helmets!" Eliot noted, giving Parker a pointed look. "For everyone, regardless of skill level. Trust me, you don't want a concussion. They suck a lot."

“If they crack their skull open, they’ll learn,” Parker said with a snort.

"Or they'll die and you'll be sad." They should maybe not talk about students dying. "Which is way less likely to happen if you all follow directions and wear a goddamn bike helmet. It ain't dorky if everyone's doin' it."

Kathy listened to the instructions with growing horror. She'd just realized the entire class hinged around her knowing how to ride the bike.

Guess who had never learned how to ride a bike? Just guess!

"Do we really have to use these?" Kathy asked, eyeing the adult training wheels with something between disdain and dubiousness. "I mean, if we don't know how to ride a bike already?"

Kathy was not in bike shorts. Kathy didn't even own bike shorts. Probably because she'd never ridden a bike in her entire life.

Maybe if she looked at it as a learning opportunity, she would feel less apprehensive about class?

"Is that what riding a bike is all about?" Kathy asked. "Balance? That shouldn't be that bad..."

She had a couple of benefits in that regard.

The answer in Parker's case would probably be something along the lines of "What shorts?" Although she knew perfectly well what they were.

Yelling "OUT OF THE WAY YOU OLD BAT" was perfectly reasonable when someone was taking up the whole bike path. Sheesh.

"Uh-oh! Looks like somebody's worried!" Mabel bounced up to Kathy, wearing her finest in 'knitted sweater with a biking dog on the front because reasons' couture. Even the sweater dog was wearing a helmet. "You don't know how to ride a bike?"

Hi, Kathy. How were you? Mabel tended to just bop up to people this way. You'd get used to it.

"WHEEEE!"

... Yes, that was about the tall and short of it today. 'Whee.' Because yay, biking! Mabel loved going fast, okay? Going fast? Was pretty much the best thing!

Alluka studied her helmet with open curiosity. It was red, which she supposed meant it had at least tried to be pretty, but it would have looked better in pink.

She tried to put it on, and put in on backwards, of course. Funny how the straps didn't quite work that way.

Yeah, Alluka had never ridden a bike before.

Well, Ringo had ridden a bike before.

You know, a normal bike. They weren't really renowned for their top speeds. So while Ringo was normally a huge fan of speed, and also generally comfortable going fast on two wheels, today called for a much slower start.

She didn't notice herself accelerating as the day wore on.

Bikes? Nope. Kaylin had no idea how to work one of these things. She watched the other students to get an idea, but good gods! Who ever thought that balancing on two rubber wheel things was a good idea?
