Everyone remembers their first experience riding a bike – the thrill of the hills, the acceleration and the wind in your face as you go faster and faster.

Everyone loves a good game of baseball – the fans cheering from the crowds, the smell of popcorn, fluffs of cotton candy bobbing through the promenade, and smiles from kids and adults alike.
