 Memoir

Learning how to ride a bike is one of my favorite parts of this chapter. This was a very fun experience. I learned faster than i thought, i only remember crashing twice. This happened when i was in Kindergarten. My dad and i were in my back yard on a sunny day and my bike was shiny and brand new.

I first got on my bike and my dad held on to the back of the seat and gave me a push. I recall coasting on the soft grass and i tipped to the side, luckily wearing a helmet, i hit the ground with the bike on top of me. I alsow remember feeling scared and lacking confidence, but i got back on the bike and tried again.

When i got back on the bike for the seconed time, i took a deep breath and went for it. I rode for quite a while in a circle around the back yard before i fell to the ground again. This time i went over the handle bars head first. I thought this crash was fun because i didn't get hurt and i laughed.

After 3 or 4 times going around the back yard, i gained enough confidence to try the side walk in the front. I did not wreck on the sidewalk untill i got a new bike and grown. I now love riding my bike around the neighborhood. My dad and i now race and sometimes i win.

This experience was exciting and today i'm usuing it to teach my brother to ride and learn to have fun and be safe.
