What was much special about this particular event?
The first time I rode a bicycle, I felt like I was flying in the sky. I had no idea what I was doing. At first, the experience was weird and unbearable. In other words, I was frightened like never before. I panicked and fell severally. Anytime I fell I was hurt and felt that riding was not part of my hobby. I kept trying until I got used to the strange situation. In other words, after regular rides, I felt freedom of sensation. Once I was scared, I lost the concentration such that I forgot that pedaling was part of riding a bicycle. I also forgot to handle the brakes properly to a point I fell on a ditch. I cried in pain, but my friends were there to encourage me and console with me. I could not hold the pain anymore. I decided to call it a day. The following morning I woke up fully prepared and dressed like a real cyclist. I wore a helmet on my head and knee pads. After I made my first pedal attempt, I discovered that pedaling was much easier than I expected.
The event not only represents freedom for me but also enabled me to establish a foundation on which I could base my existence. Learning how to ride a two-wheeled object was quite fun to me. It demonstrated a way that can improve my health as a youth. It also taught me the importance of perseverance. For example, I learned that power and persistence are vital aspects which can help me overcome several challenges in life. I discovered that life is like cycling. One must maintain a balance. If at a point I fail to balance y undertakings, I will fall. Therefore, I must maintain a balance to keep moving.
