Hello everyone. Today I am quite happy to talk
about my memorable experience in riding a bicycle to all of you.
Most of the people have a memorable experience
and so do I. I had a memorable experience when I was eight years old.
Apparently, at that time I was in the third grade at an elementary school. My
father bought a medium - sized learner's bicycle with two side wheels for my
birthday. Besides that, my mother and my two brothers also had a gift for me,
but I just liked the gift which my father bought. I was very happy. For over a
year, I practiced every morning and evening whenever I had free time. After
that I saw other boys who could ride their bike without the two side wheels.
Therefore, one day, I decided to ask my father to remove the two side wheels
because I wanted to ride a bike like those boys.
At first, He hesitated for fear that I might
fall and get my mysefl injured. But my mother persuaded and nagged him everday.
Finally, he removed the two wheels for me. Initially, my father held the seat,
so I had nothing to worry. I trembled with fear and kept pedaling for a
distance. Suddenly, I realized that my father was not beside me. I pressed the
brakes and feel out. My fater started laughing and come running towards me. He
helped me up and asked me to try once. I tried and slowly I gained confidence,
but I was able to move straight.
Within two weeks of continuous practise. I was
able to pedal without help. The feeling of achivements was so immense that my
heat was filled with pride and joy. In two weeks, I was able to ride a bicycle
with other boys.
I had many falls, but that was worth it. Now I
can ride my bicycle well and even I can ride my motorcycle ^^ and have no fear
at all. I am now looking forward to the day that I can ride my own car ^^.
