As the saying goes "life is like a bicycle, to keep going? You must keep peddling "
Let me brief you how at first I learnt how to ride a bicycle. It was truly an unforgettable moment, I remember vividly my cousin told me that its either you always apply brakes when necessary or you embrace a broken bone, how funny that statement was.

Indirectly saying I must at all times go on a speed limit and be cautious of rough terrain or else the end might be my body been injured. I heed to the advice.
As a teenager, seeing my mates riding bicycle I began asking myself why can't I learn to ride it? Isn't it what others are riding what's so special? I would put my pride down and ask for a ride even though I don't know how but the fun was what o can't miss out. They would laugh at me saying its better I look for someone to teach me they can't be giving me their bicycles always.

This was the push with motivation that I mist learn how to ride one. So rook the bold step and ask my cousin for help and assistance in repairing the old bicycle at home, giving him my small savings as a contribution, I can remember he laughed and said I should keep it, it won't go anyway but I shouldn't worry he would repair it. That day turned joy in chaos for me.
After about a week it was repaired and I couldn't wait to start learning how to ride.

On that fateful day in the evening I and my cousin left home to an open field and he would hold tight the back of the bicycle as I hop on and shouting at the top of his voice..
** "keep Peddling to keep balance"**
So this made me always look at the peddle since he was always emphasizing on the peddle without looking at which direction I was heading too. The numbers on times I ran into the bush I just can't count.

It was difficult to rearrange my mind towards peddling while looking straight forward. For the aspect of the brakes I won't lie, I had forgotten of it, if it even existed because I was trying to take the learning phase very slow.
Not until he noticed that the rough terrain in the open field is affecting me on how to balance and peddle rightly, my cousin decided we go to the main road not minding I was still learning.
He wanted a smooth plain level road.
Now he said "keep Peddling hard" and watch you front remember that you have your brakes at the right part of the handle.
This was how I learnt how to drive a bicycle successfully and today I'm so good at it.

What did this little experience of mine taught you?
Not matter what, keep Peddling, toi don't expect all roads to be smooth, immediately you stop Peddling you misbalance and will drop to the ground roughly.

Till tomorrow, I would always be thankful to my cousin for the time he sacrificed to teach me how to ride a bike. And the life lessons I now understood tjsts behind the perspective on the process of learning.

What I can say to you reading through this writings is KEEP PEDDLING!.
