At the age of seven I learned how to ride a bike. My mom bought me a blue bike with training wheels and said that it is time that I learned how to ride. She was a very supportive person. It was a day that will forever be in my memory. She first let me ride it with the training wheels on and then she had a talk with me and said that it is time to try and ride it without them. She removed them and she walked right next to me. She had a low back problem but she still walked next to me while I was riding without the wheels. It was so scary that first time but it turned out to be alright. I practiced for so long with them on that it really did not make much of a difference when they were off. She was so happy when I was able to do it and that was a great feeling.
{June 02, 2010} Learning to Ride a Bike
I still know how to ride and because of that day I will never forget how to ride a bike. All children should go through this learning process because it teaches the importance of first taking it easy and then going in for a harder approach. This is so true for many things in life.
