How to ride a bike, by Robin

When I first learnt how to ride a bike it was with training wheels. That went really well! I was a brilliant student. Then, I had to try it on my own. And that is where it went wrong. Seriously wrong. I was cycling in a parking lot, which was supposed to be safer since there weren’t any cars. That would be the case, if my brakes would work. In this case they didn’t. So I was all excited because I could ride a bike on my own. And then there was a wall. The whole family watched me cycle into damnation and screamed: "HIT THE BRAKES! HIT THE BRAKES!! THE BRAKES! THE BRAAAAAAAAAKES!" 5-year-old me: "they don't... WHAAAAA --> CRASH." Into the wall. Yes. That happened. There was a bump on my head the size of a tennis ball. It slowly went away but left a banner of bleu skin   across my eyes. It looked terrible. Nowadays you can still see it and sometimes people ask me if I bumped my head. Yes, 14 years ago.
