Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Discovery.

I'm Cody Gough.

And I'm Ashley Hamer.

Today you learn about the special way riding a bike is stored in your memory,

an unsolvable paradox that dates back to ancient Greece, and

what causes the smell of fresh rain?

We originally ran these stories in December 2018, and they're so good we remastered them just for you.

And not only did we remaster them but we also have a lot of new stuff to say at the end

of today's episode. So stick around to hear our fresh takes. But right now, let's satisfy some curiosity.

When there's a skill you learned a long time ago, but you're a little out of practice practice people always say the same thing about it

don't worry it's just like riding a bike you know what they mean sure you might be a

little rusty but you'll get right back into it no problem but did you ever

wonder why that is? In other words, why is riding a bike like

writing a bike? We have the answer. And I can barely ride a bike, so I would say this can also apply to like driving a car for

instance I haven't owned a car in 10 years but when I get behind the wheel it's not like

I don't know how to drive a car well you could see if cars are like that in

someone else's car, Cody,

because I'm not going to let you drive my car to find out.

I see you did there.

Safe.

It's safe and smart.

Being safe.
