A picture of me and my bicycle

I would tell you the story of how i learnt Riding a bicycle.
Since I was a child, i have always dreamt of owning a Bicycle or perhaps maybe ride.
It has always been a childhood fantasy, and that dream never really came true till i entered university. Although I learnt how to ride bikes when i was very little, i got some injuries riding them recklessly, but i never owned any of my own till i entered the University.

My mum stressed out the fact that i was too enthusiastic about Riding or owning a bicycle. That She is scared that if i owned a bicycle she fears the worst.

Here is why she feared me getting a bicycle or owning one

This was a funny memory from my childhood, my mum told me that when i was very small i do ride a Make shift Bike tires from our house to almost 10 street away😂. My and my goons would go in mass, taking the major road as if it was our own, with no fears of cars passing or any vehicle in particular, we would sometimes go out in the morning and won't come back till its dark,
this always scared my mum a lot, she sometimes go out to look fo me, she would scold me many times due to wounds and injuries sustained from reckless driving of bicycle but that doesn't stopped my passion on bicycle and bikes.

I have a Neighbor just 5 blocks away from our House. His name is Adebambo, He owns a bicycle.
Big thanks to him, he taught me how to ride Bicycles.

Skills you need to possess in order to ride bicycles

To ride bicycle you need to maintain balance and stability on motion while pedalling,
I fell down many times when i was first learning to ride bikes, Someone have To hold the bicycle while I was matching the pedals so as to maintain balance on my first 3 day of learning how to ride a bicycle. Luckily I got better on the third day of learning.

You need. flexibility to turn while on motion. Trust me you need to be very careful and skillful to turn to bicycle, your body needs to flexible or else during sharp turns or bends on the road, you might likely sustain accidents.
Strength and speed, especially when you are riding uphill.
