Listening to Kinetic Knowledge

[Don’t Dismiss It - V]

Riding a bike is a complex physics problem. Essentially, in my case, a grown man must balance on two aluminum wheels that are as narrow as one inch, peddling just fast enough for the force forward to have more influence than the force to either side. Add to it the variables associated with turning, and it gets even more complex.

But I don’t think twice about it. I haven’t since I got a Diamondback BMX for my fifth birthday. Jump on, peddle, and go.

I know in my body what would take years of physics to understanding in my mind.

Don’t dismiss the intelligence of your body. You have kinetic knowledge and bodily wisdom that is far more advanced than what you might learn in school.

Let’s listen closely to it.
