Q: Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike?
A: Theory holds several clues to support the oft-heard phrase “just like riding a bike.”
Riding a bicycle is what motor control experts tend to refer to as a “continuous task,” compared to discrete tasks with definite endings (like turning a key to start your car). Peter van Kan, kinesiology professor at UW-Madison, said research has laid out three reasons why bicycle riding feels like second nature.
Discrete tasks draw more on verbal and cognitive skills, while continuous tasks are written into a more reflexive mechanism in the mind. Continuous tasks also require — and are more likely to be given — more attention and time during the learning process, and thus become further ingrained.
“One way to look at it is a continuous task may incorporate many discrete actions,” van Kan said. “(While learning) a continuous task you have many more opportunities to accomplish the many discrete tasks.”
Most important, van Kan said, might be the way we judge bicycle riders. If you learn to ride a bicycle, but then stay out of the saddle for several years, your first few cranks of the pedals post-lay-off may not make you look like Lance Armstrong.
“You may be a little unstable at first,” van Kan said. “But very quickly, as you are repeating those many discrete tasks, you are renewing what you learned years before and you may quickly be stable and appear to be a good bicycle rider.”
I'm not sure if this will appeal to everyone but I quite like it, I took loads of pictures of these cygnets ( seems funny now calling them cygnets ! ) on what must have been one of their first flights but none of them were really sharp. I couldn't focus on the eye without chopping them in half so just had to focus on the body and pray, I know I could've changed the focus points but that would be fiddly at the best of times !

For the learning challenge. I FINALLY caved. ;) Printed off the free "Friendship Definition" digi kit found at 2 peas: www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/hero-arts/83717-digikit-ha-.... Used it in 2 sizes. Larger for the strip and a smaller size to use with the MS 3 Butterflies punch. Also used Line and Flower DB stamp with Versamark on thee background but it's hard to see in the picture. Notecard, gems and felt flower all HA.
Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses real
A fatal attraction holding me fast how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

TEDxPioneerValley, an independently organized event licensed by TED, explores learning that takes place in unexpected ways, cracking open traditional notions of how learning happens. The day-long conference at Amherst College Jan. 21, 2012, is presented in collaboration with the Holyoke Community College Adult Learning Center, Amherst College, Smith College and Mount Holyoke College.

The launch requires a bank angle to give the correct climb to altitude that is followed by a reverse turn that leaves the aircraft in the correct attitude for the glide with minimum sink rate.
Seeing that a few flickr folks visited U of C yesterday and got around to nearly all of my favorite places inspired me to look through some pics i had harboring space on the hard drive. I took this one recently, getting to work a little early one day to get back to Harper just as the sun was rising. I really want to grab a 360 degree pano of this room, but that will have to wait. Here, I just stitched together 5 or 6 vertical frames. It's definitely not perfect but I liked the warped perspective in this one actually.
Only a small part of my desire to fall off the planet is the fact that I am indeed learning to drive. While I am slowly becoming more comfortable with my level of control, on the whole I still find it intimidating and nerve wracking. And I haven't even gone to some of the busier parts of town yet. Today I ran into several imaginary cars because parking does not seem to be my strong suit. I have, however, survived a somewhat long journey on the interstate for a trip that preceded my falling off the planet.
