Like Riding a Bike

Some months ago, I’d posed to my loyal Twitter followers (all 100 of them—well, more like 50 since the other half seems to be always be peddling some product/web site/service) this question: what’s an equivalent of the phrase “it’s like riding a bike,” especially for the context of someone trying to learn or relearn how to ride bicycle? An erudite non-spambot offered “it’s easy as falling off a log.”

Here’s hoping that Olivia and her friend Lucy find pedaling a two-wheeler to be as easy as falling off a log, but that they find staying up in the tree before their riding lesson to be as facile as riding a bike.
