Male Female
To be honest, I try to learn lots of things in my life, but in all of these, I always face challenges. Here, I would like to talk about one such memory when I started learning about riding a bicycle from my father at the age of 13. It was a very humbling experience for me, as my father is very skilled at riding a bicycle. He has won many races in his life. He tried to teach me various skills and methods to ride a bicycle, but I always faced difficulties because I could not overcome the fear in my heart, and that is the reason I could not achieve any success. It is also due to my experience of feeling pain from falling. I think it all comes down to my fear. If I had a passion for riding a bicycle, I would have definitely succeeded at that time. One day, I fell while riding with my dad due to my lack of proper learning. I felt terrible and fearful, and I was angry with my dad. But still, my father did not lose his confidence. He always tried to teach me different methods and encouraged me to learn basic skills on YouTube and Google. It might have helped me in an easier way, but I still could not find success. One day, my father injured his hand due to my mistakes while riding a bicycle. That day, I decided that I would not try to ride a bicycle again in the future, as it was a very fearful experience for me. So, that is the time when I started to learn about riding a bicycle, but I always faced challenges.

But here I would like to talk about one such memory when I get started learning about bicycle from my father at the age of 13. It was a very humble for experience to me as my father is very professionalist in riding a bicycle. He won many times over races in their life. They tried to teach me lots of skills and methods to use how to ride a bicycle but I always get filler in all of these because I cannot take out the fear from my heart and if it is a reason why I cannot get any success. It is also due to my experience of feeling the pain due to falling. I think it is an all blame on my fear. If I had a career to be riding a bicycle then I will definitely go to success at that time.
