Though my father bought a cycle for me when i was around eight, I was obstinate, scared and unwilling to learn to ride it.
After a year, when my father and mother realized that i would probably never learn to cycle, they gave it away.
I didn't feel bad about it. I actually felt relived.
Around three months ago, my friends and i were having a discussion on what we don't know to do.
I admitted that i don't know to cycle. My friends were prettty shocked and did make fun of me for a while, but let it go later.
This isn't what made me ask my parents for a cycle.
I realized that i am missing something that is really awesome. A form of exercise, a form of commuting and a form of FUN!
I didn't have to beg my my mom or dad. I asked them for a cycle and they bought it for me the next week.
The first two days of my cycle lessons were abysmal. I was a little too scared to actually lift my feet of the ground (this cycle didn't have training wheels).
As the days progressed, so did my cycling abilities.
I diligently worked everyday to get my balance right.
And I finally did get it.
I can now proudly say I KNOW TO CYCLE!!!
I dedicate this post to my mom for trusting me and buying another cycle though i didn't use the first one.
My dad because he encouraged me to learn to ride it.
My domestic help- Suguna aunty who actually TAUGHT me to ride my cycle.
And finally to myself, Who learnt to overcome fear and achieve something.
