Hello everyone,
Welcome to my blog
It a beautiful afternoon here in my city and I was just coming back from school and decided to explore and engage the hive blockchain. While exploring I came across this amazing community and thought I should share my experience of riding bike for the first time.

Growing up as a child I lived in the city with my parent and we do visit the village only on Christmas holidays. So it has been like that until I graduated from junior secondary school and was about entering into the senior secondary, we had a long break that that lasted for about a month, and my granny requested I should visit her for the holiday.

Reaching the village I experience a total different live from what I used to in the city, I saw children riding on bicycles and even carrying load on it, its was an amazing experience, I was surprised to see that because I have never see kids in the city had the privilege to ride bike, we all use to go to schools and other places using the car and school bus. So that was the live I had in the city, coming to the village to see children riding bike was a beautiful sight for me and I really admired it.

My experience

As a novice, one day I was at home, my grandma was very sick and needed some medications, I was the only one with her in the house and I need to go get her some drugs from the pharmacy, the distance from our home to the pharmacy was very far, its was in the village market square and I won’t be able to walk the distance except I go on bike or car. I was still watching my grandma temperature increasing in every seconds, she told me that if I had known how to ride the bike I would have go get her some drugs or properly called the doctor for her. That was when I got motivated and decided to give myself a try in order to go get drugs for my grandma.

I told my grandma that I will go, and I will ride the bike, she smile at me and said you can if you are determine, just keep your face straight, then bike straight and keep paddling the bike leg. Those words were really encouraging to me, I was like so I can ride this bike if I’m determined. I took the bike and summoned courage and rehearsed what my grandma told me, keep your face straight, keep the bike straight and keep paddling the leg and that was how I rode the bike for the first time.

I keep riding and I discovered I was making progress, when I get to some point I will stop and push the bike because of the soil topography, I finally got to the market square got the drugs for my grandma and rode back home, without failing. When I got back the excitement on her face seeing me on the bike and that was able to get her the drugs was already an healing charm.

The next day I went to a street that is straightway I learn and I keep learning till I got back from holidays and today I can boldly ride a bicycle with fear, and can also carry load. This was my first experience riding a bike.
