Riding a City Bike Throughout Childhood

By Rob Sutter


There are just certain things that you learn to do as you grow up. Some of us start to learn how to make our beds while others take to tying our shoes first. However, I feel like learning how to ride a bicycle may just be the most common in this regard. Using a city bike, going from one place to another, was one of those things that presented a great amount of trials for me but once I learned, forgetting everything was not in the cards.

The trials weren't so much based on how difficult riding a city bike was but how I perceived information back then. It was harder for me to pick up on certain things and even now, I like having things repeated to me a few times so that I'm certain of what to do. During my childhood, though, I took more than a few tumbles off of the bicycle and fell with authority. I grew and learned, though, which made my appreciation for authorities like Linus Bike all the more potent.

As you could imagine, I started to learn to ride a bicycle amongst my many friends, so the pressure was most certainly on. I blame myself for putting unneeded stress on my being and my experience with this machine wasn't exactly ideal. I had to eventually take the training wheels off but even that presented a level of challenge that part of me wasn't entirely ready to take on. Having said that, though, stepping out of the comfort zone I had spent so much time in actually proved to be beneficial.

As much difficulty as I had learning to ride as a child, I'd make the argument that adults who hadn't learned yet would have more trouble doing so. I think that people who have been sheltered during their younger years stood a lesser chance of learning to ride. At that point in a person's life, it's harder to retain information since your being is already formed for the most part. I knew a few people like that and seeing them attempt to pick on these skills was something I had to admire.

As a child, learning proved to be a challenge for me because the ability to retain facts came rather slow for me. It was tough for my brain to go about attaining information but when I was able to, it was even harder for me to extract it from my memory banks. Being able to ride a bicycle to the utmost potential, though, was perhaps the most trying experience. I was able to gain a newfound appreciation for city bikes and it's one that stands with me to this day.
