LEARNING TO RIDE A BICYCLE

Learning to ride a bicycle is one of the most thrilling, challenging, and unforgettable moments in a child’s life. It is a small but meaningful step toward independence.

At first, it may seem difficult to balance and pedal at the same time. Many children fall, get up, and try again. With each attempt, they become braver and more confident. A parent or an older sibling usually runs beside them, offering encouragement and support. The moment they ride on their own, with the wind in their hair, is a moment of pure joy and freedom.

Learning to ride a bicycle teaches patience, courage, and determination. It reminds us that success often comes after many small failures.
