Your first bicycle moment

Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle, bicycle, bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like

I learned later in life how to ride a bicycle. Not because I listened to Queen's song way too late, but because I never figured out why would I enjoy sitting on that uncomfortable tiny version of a chair with wheels. And I had no one to teach me as a child. If I could have learned about this from books, I would have.

I can still remember my first attempt. I was taken on a green meadow, I was about 21 something years old, and slowly guided. I was terrified of the thought of smashing my face into the grass and losing my front teeth. Yup. I have a horror of having one of my front teeth missing, I could not look at myself👀 This fear made me lose focus and move with the speed of a snail. "Children do this, you are an adult, come on!". Not easy. I am not the person who can take lightly "encouragements" like these.

I like to do things in my own rhythm.If one of the things that makes me roar is to hear people tell me "You can't do this or that", the second on the list would be "But look at others, they did it!". Both of these two approaches will score zero results with me.

I managed to get a lot of bruises on my ankles. I heal very slowly from these and I watched them go from blue to purple to yellow to wonderful pastels throughout the weeks. My skin was a work of art with expressionistic bruises. It took me several weeks to learn. Embarassing, I know. I didn't care because if I was not to lose any teeth by my own pace, I would have been pleased for this to take me even a year😂

I wanted to keep my style of posting original so I refused to google a picture with a bike and splash it here. So I made my own bike on my palm lol.Took me 1 minute to sketch this. I kinda look heroic balancing myself so good on it🤸‍♀️😂

Today is world bicycle day. Can you remember your first time doing this? How was it for you? Let me know in the comments below.

Have a gorgeous day and toodle loo!
