Sage advice given by my dear husband. Of course, you need a little context. I really learned how to ride a 10-speed bike when I was in my 30's. Daunting to learn something many of you have been doing as naturally as walking. I finally mastered the art of balancing on 2 skinny tires while pedaling, shifting and steering. But then there was the issue of drinking while riding with a group on longer rides. Taking one hand off the handle bars and reaching down the bike frame for my water bottle was super challenging for me. As I whined about this to my husband, he said that I needed to keep practicing that action until I puked. He did not mean literally that I should puke but that through repetition I would master that skill. I still remind myself to "practice till I puke" because to become proficient at a new skill, it sometimes takes time and practice.
