It was a magnificent Saturday morning. 

It was a sunny day and not a cloud in the sky.  It was a perfect day to learn how to ride a bike!

I wanted to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels because I couldn’t keep up with my mom, dad, and brother when they went bike riding. 

We were having breakfast and I said to my mom and dad that I am five years old and it’s time for me to learn how to ride a bike.  They said ok!

First, my dad took the training wheels off of the bike.  It was my brother’s old bike and was a little too big for me.  Then, we all scuttled into the car and went to Dodge Park.

When we got to the park, we looked for a perfect spot to ride.  I’m glad there was not too many people around.  Next, I got on the bike and held the handlebars so tight my fingers felt numb.  I was scared and happy at the same time.
