In Response To: Except Problems Aren't Prevented . . . (lenny)

When I was four or five I got a bicycle. We had a high school 1/4-mile track behind our house with a cinder surface. With and later without training wheels (the latter requiring a milk stool for mounting) I got a few bumps, bruises, and scraped up knees over the first couple weeks. Similar experiences occurred when I learned to swim, play baseball, hammer nails, date girls.

Sure glad my parents didn't have your "we can't allow any growing pains, so..." attitude.
