I don’t remember the exact age I learned to ride a bike, but I was young. I know I was riding a little red bike, I think with twelve-inch wheels. No kid older than six or seven could have fit on it.

It was definitely before third grade, because I used to ride my bike to school in third grade. I lived far enough away to ride the bus, but it was a great adventure to take my bike instead. It was about the farthest I rode at that age; almost two miles, I think. The sidewalk on the main road I took had lots of old trees’ roots breaking up the concrete, and you could jump them like ramps if you were going fast enough. I got home faster than the bus, too; our house was near the end of the route.

I spent about all of elementary school on my bike. Breaking my leg in a wreck in fifth grade put a damper on that, though.

    Your answer sounds so poetic!

    Aww, now I want to describe my bike. I don’t remember the color, I think it was mainly white but had some purple in it. I had the pom pom thingies on the handle bar, and I had the little plastic sliding thingies on the spokes haha.
