TdF KAL Intermediate Sprint

Though doing only a row a day keeps the doctor away, it sure doesn't get you very far in your knitting. I decided to knit the ear warmers in the round. The rings are to remind me where to decrease, the safety pins to purl a stitch on the edges so it will lie flat and the word relax is to remind me to relax my hands and shoulders so I don't tense up.

The Tour de France KAL is having an intermediate sprint challenge and I've decide to answer each option.

Knitting Option
My Tour de France project has to do with cycling, so that's the tour connection. The French connection? Hm...

Cycling Option
I don't remember learning to ride a bike as it was so long ago. I think it was an adult bike though. I do remember one day when I was with my youngest sister when she was learning to ride a bike. I was holding onto the back of the seat and noticed that actually she was cycling quite well, so I thought that I'd let go. She was going fine until she noticed that I wasn't holding on anymore. She went off the curb, wobbled across the street (fortunately no cars were coming), went up the curb on the other side of the road and crashed into a mailbox that was the only thing around. I don't remember if she asked me for riding help again.

France Option
I would like to visit France one day. Especially the outdoor booksellers along the Seine in Paris because it was one place my grandmother told me that she would like to see. She was a bookworm like me, though she reads books in French too.
