Many of us remember the arduous process of learning to ride a bike.
We can easily recall the first time we pedalled off without training wheels. The overwhelming sense of fear made our knee pad-clad legs buckle, as we begged the guiding hand on the saddle to not let go until we felt we were balanced and ready. What was barely a 30cm drop onto the gravelly pavement felt like jumping out of a plane without a parachute, but we knew we had to overcome our fears to ride around town with the rest of our pals on the weekend.
