Superpowers

On Sunday the 20th, I went to an indie rock show for kids and their families, organized by the Bunch Family. The band was The Bicycles, a Toronto band. They were fun, but the opening act was like nothing I had ever seen. It wasn't music, it was something called "trials" bike riding, which I guess I would describe as acrobatic bicycle stunts, like hopping straight up with the bike, or balancing on the top of a triangle, or jumping from one box to another. The rider was Carsinn Wilson, who I knew from my local bicycle store as a mechanic. I had no idea that he could do stuff like that. I had no idea that anyone could do stuff like that, at least not with a bicycle.
