Question of the Week: Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike?
Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood.
Our memories let us down in so many instances, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?
Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bicycle are, anchored in a separate system, called procedural memory. As its name implies, this type of memory is responsible for performance.
Even with traumatic brain injury the procedural memory system is hardly ever compromised.
Simple sequences of movements are internalized, even far in the past, and are typically preserved for a lifetime. Or as the saying goes, it’s “just like riding a bicycle.”
When riding with us: | ||
· wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order | ||
· stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise | ||
· not overlap wheels | ||
· descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots | ||
· pass slower riders on the left | ||
· ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards | ||
· avoid bunching up | ||
· respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians | ||
· Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. | ||
