A few days ago I wrote about how well I could ride a bicycle when I was little and then I stopped after a situation occurred. Getting my little brother a bicycle made me realize how well I love the experience. I tried seeing if I could ride his but I had no idea if my weight was stopping me as it was a children's bicycle or if I had lost my cycling skills.
Coming to the North, I realized that most people use either Tricycles or Motorcycles or Bicycles. I could give the ratio to these cycles with a car as 70:30, most young men are seen purchasing motorcycles or bicycles instead of buying cars. Maybe because they are single or the cost.
I lecture in a college of Health so I have lots of students, I see them come to school with either their motorcycles or bicycles, just a few students have cars. It鈥檚 a private college so they are allowed to park inside the school premises. So I was sure I had students who had bicycles,
Since I am free during the evening, I decided to ask one of my students to come around with his bicycle so I could go cycling even if it is for a few kilometers as it has been a long time since I did that, last time was when I was little. Well, he agreed and came around with his bicycle. When I got a beep on my phone saying he was outside. I was a bit skeptical asking myself if I should go for this bicycle ride, what if I embarrass myself in front of my student since I wasn鈥檛 so sure I could still cycle
At first, I found it difficult to get on it, but then after a few tries I finally got on it it felt like I was a little girl riding her friend鈥檚 bicycle but it was a nice experience. I was a bit scared to make a move so he had to hold it but with time I was able to cycle for a short distance by myself. I was excited too because some kids with bicycles came around, they were cheering me too so I felt really good. They even did a race with their bicycles.
I did cycle for some time before I got exhausted since it has been a while, maybe I should consider getting myself a bicycle At least I could use it for exercising. It was a nice evening I kept screaming how well I could still ride a bicycle. This evening just made me realize how much I miss being a child and how well I miss cycling with my childhood buddies.
When I saw the kids cycling and racing with their bicycles it brought back old memories. Guess what? I fixed another cycling schedule I will be doing more cycling till I leave the North. Let鈥檚 make more memories.
