You can often find me sporting Converse sneakers (laces self-tied), and if I were unfortunate enough to live in the Quad or have an athletic bone in my body, you can rest assured that I would be the proud owner of a two-wheel bike. I can stay afloat in a pool, and somehow I did learn to do a cartwheel.
