My fondest memory of learning how to ride my bike was with the kids from my apartment complex. The kids in the neighborhood and I would go out on long bike rides and then bike from home to school and then back. I also remember going on bike rides with my dad and occasionally with the other kids from my neighborhood. I feel like my experiences were similar to Strickland’s because he talked about how the bicycle is the first machine that we learn how to control and then it takes over and becomes a huge part of our lives. One can never forget how to ride a bike because it is truly one of our earliest achievements.
