Behold I go backward..Job 23:8
I combined two pictures of this daring young fellow riding his bike backward in a parking lot.while sitting on his handle bars.My husband and I had just got through buying groceries and about ready to take off when this guy casually appeared in front of our windshield ... luckily I had my camera out of the bag to shoot the pictures.
Years ago I watched one of my late uncles ride his bike backward on his driveway, that he had learned to do when he was a young boy and needless to say, I was impressed with his skills but never knew how he did it, when it was all I could do to ride my bike forward and keep my balance:)...I don't think I had ever seen anyone else do that in front of my face again until today.. It was challenging for me just to align these two pictures together to get them even in photo shop and had to do it over twice before it looked right.

Thank you for the comments...You are right Fred, this could be dangerous and I don't know
how he managed to ride backward with just balancing on the handle bars...no head helmet
either if he did happen to fall....I would not advise anyone to try it -

I have seen guys riding a bicycle backwards and marveled at how they did it without falling. You got excellent photos of this rider and did an outstanding job of stitching them together in Photo Shop!!!
