My first time of ride my bike was awesome! I remember that I even can get in the seat of the bike and my legs were enough large to reach the pedals! It was in middle of June and my dad told me, “It’s time that you learn how to go in the bike!” I was like five or four years old and mi dad put the bike in front on me and he said “get up on the seat!” I like a little kid try to reach but it was too high so when I finally climb the bike but I felt to the other side of the bike, with the bike! When I remember I laugh a lot because it was like seen a cartoon. My dad starts laughing and I was angry because I can’t ride the stupid bike! So I try again and this time I can stand up! So my dad said “well, now pedal!” when I left my foot the bike again felt with me! My dad start to laugh again and this time I laugh too! I try again and this time I gave two pedals and I felt again! This time, anyone laugh, my dad pick me up, and take me home, I think in that moment that I was a lost case, but I wasn´t. My dad put to my bike two little wheels! I felt embarrassed! It was an awkward moment but I need to learn how! This time was very easy! I was riding for the entire square and the only moment that I have difficult been when I need to turn in U! But with practice I start to have the concept of riding the bike! The next days were like that and I still having more experience at the wheels! Then my dad take one little wheel, I remember that I only can turn to the right but to the left it was impossible! Finally I can turn left and I still trying to make it perfectly! My dad decides to take the other wheel and I was alone against the world, I start pedaling with a huge helmet in my head! I look like the Atomic Ant of the old Cartoons! Little body with a big head! My sister tell me that she only hear “boom! Boom!” like every five minutes! It was true I felt every five minutes and I just laugh and laugh, for me this one was one of my favorites times of my life because I just imagine all my neighbors laugh at me or thinking “what a dummy!” with several weeks of effort, time and perseverance, I make it! I ride my bike like 3 hours without stopping! I just felt free doing that!
This childhood memories make me feel nostalgic because if you see, yesterday I was trying to ride my bike, and today I’m driving my dad’s car! So that make me felt awesome because with little thing you can be a better person! Riding the bike make me think a lot of advice to my life. One is don’t give up! If you can’t at the first time, get up and try again! Two, you can make whatever you want in your life! And you can make it possible if you put some of your time and perseverance! And three, you need to put you other foot in the pedal and push at the same time you take off the other foot! That was the best of the advices!
These types of experience in my life are very little against what I left to live, but there will be huge opportunities in the rest of my life that I will value just like this one’s! some things you can’t forget! Like your first love, and of course the first time you crash against a wall in your bike, and trying to drive like a pro in the downhills!
