Riding a bicycle has become very popular these days.
My school is some distance from the house and, therefore，I have to go there by bus.I sometimes get there late.I had been asking my father to get me a good bicycle so that I might reach school on time.Finally, he gave me one as a gift.
Now the problem was how to ride the bicycle.One of my friends lives next door.I persuaded him to help me learn how to ride.He used to take me to the school playground and teach me how to balance and use the pedals.He used to run with me so that I did not hurt myself.I picked up things very quickly and could ride a cycle without any one's help after a few days.
One day, however, I took the bicycle out and went to the playground by myself.Soon I met with an accident and hurt myself.But I knew that practice makes perfect.
I became an expert cyclist in a few days.What a pleasure it is to ride a bicycle! I now go to school on my bicycle.I think riding a bicycle is the cheapest and quickest means of transport for a student.I make use of my bicycle if something urgent is to be brought from the market.I now visit the homes of my friends who live too far away.I can also be very helpful to my mother and get vegetables and fruit for the house.
