I’ve fallen in love. Yes. Its true. Its been a slow process but its finally happened. I tell everyone about it until they are fed up with me so another reason to blog. All throughout the week I look forward to my Saturday afternoons; the wind on my face, my lungs filling up with (fresh?) air that makes my heart pump quicker and so my breath exudes in a rapid fashion promoting a warmness throughout my whole body, sweating yet glowing, becoming increasingly excited and laughing with a grin that does not diminish with exertion. Yes that’s me on a Saturday afernoon learning to ride a bike. I haven’t missed one week yet and guess what. I passed Level 1 of the Bikeability Course, got some badges and a certificate!
What did I have to do? Show how well I could control the bike, cycle in a circle whilst the instructor observes and calls out instructions…pedal ready, starting, emergency stopping, straight lines, signalling, looking behind (how many fingers), u turns and so on. It was all very relaxed and informal. I passed. Hooray. I am so happy today! Roll on next week!
