I would like to tell you about the time when my vehicle broke down. It happened about half a year ago near where I live in the Netherlands, specifically in Arnhem, a city close to the border with Belgium and Germany. I was on my way to the city center to visit some shops, maybe go to a cafe, buy some desserts or coffee, and just do some stuff like that. I was with my friends; some of us were on bikes, and some were on the bus. Unfortunately, an unhappy situation occurred when halfway to the center, my tire broke down, and I had no idea what to do. I was really upset because I was only halfway there. I estimated it would take around 40 minutes to walk each way with the bike by hand to fix it. However, we managed to solve the problem with my friends. They went to the nearest bike shop to buy special equipment to fix the tire. I stayed around and listened to some music while waiting. When they came back, we fixed the tire together. It was not as complicated as we expected. Of course, I was still a bit sad because when we got back home, I needed to buy a new tire set.
