Ladies Cycle

Ladies cycle

My dad came into my room and announced, “keshu its time for you to learn how to cycle”. I got excited hearing these word, I have been watching my sisters cycle to their School every day on their ladies cycle and the thought of me doing the same on my own cycle was very exciting. We had two cycles at home, a 24 inch black coloured gents cycle and a 22 inch red coloured ladies cycle. My mother and sisters were using the ladies cycle and the gents cycle was mostly used by my father, which was too big for me. 

I asked my father, “your cycle is too big for me, how will I learn on it ?” To which my dad replied, “on the ladies cycle”. So that’s how I started to learn cycling on a ladies cycle. It was many years after I had learnt cycling that I got my own cycle. My dad took out the ladies cycle outside and asked me to get on it while he held it firmly from the back. I was too young to reach to the ground while sitting on it. He asked me to hold the handle and put my legs on the paddles and start cycling. First day was like that he holding the cycle from back and me paddling around the streets of Shantinagar Colony in Roorkee. I was enjoying the feeling of flying on my ladies cycle. After few rounds my dad asked me to take rest
