But one of those shifts-by-itself/automatic bicycles I bought proved to be my undoing. One ride, a bad fall--and it has been sitting in the garage ever since.

Probably an inch of wooden sole, and three or four inches at the heel. Made me taller than Ron. I fell off them one day, and it was falling off a two-story building.
