yeah... I can't do that


I just take my left hand off the bar, raise it up above shoulder height and wave it back and forth vigorously - kinda like my little neighbor kid does when he's standing outside waving goodbye to his grandparents.

Then the bike begins to wiggle uncontrollably and I quickly grab ahold of the bar again.

I let go and waved once, but then I had to lay her down.

I thought maybe he was looking at that topless chick on the back of that bike that he is waving at.
