"Biking Lesson"

Bicycling was my passion at the age of 8. I used to always watch people bicycling and could get the feeling of the air in my face as if I were riding the bike. I used to watch the bicycle races, although I didn't know how to ride a bike!


At the age of 9, I learned to ride. My father bought me a bicycle with training wheels to get me started with the first step of riding a bike. After 3 months riding with the training wheels my dad decided to take it off, this way I could learn to balance myself on a bike while riding. At the age of 10 I got another bike(a bigger one than the one before) and I was riding it pretty well just until I hit a parked car while trying to turn and I was bleeding a lot, but covered the knee up before it was going to get worse.


I fell almost 20 times and next thing you know I was riding like a professional biker, riding at almost 50-60kph and was doing all kinds of tricks with my bike!


At the age of 12 I got a new bike for my birthday, it was a really nice bike with 2 strong brakes which could slow down the bike from 60kph to 0kph in only 7 seconds. The bike also had 3 suspensions for stability control and had a very nice trim to it! I took the bike to a spin and I was going really fast and was playing around with the gears and could feel the air in my face while riding new bike!


Next thing you know I was more into riding motorbikes and also electric bikes and also felt like driving a car! For this reason my bike lays in the den without anyone riding it!


I realize that passions change, if you start with something, you want something else by watching everyone else having the "new thing," which has happened to me! Has probably also happened to several people!
