Now, I do remember learning to ride a bike and it was tough. I have always felt so gutted when I was not immediately great at something which for this first born has resulted in lots of disappointments. You would think I would be used to sucking at stuff by now. Learning to ride a bike is a rite of passage in kid world and it comes with a certain status and swagger. I remember that my brother; who has always managed to outshine me in everything physical, was whizzing by me on his “big bike” even though he was 2 years younger than me while I was still wobbling around with training wheels. I know I tried over and over getting up on the seat, afraid to go too fast, falling and feeling like I would never get it right. I did finally succeed but it was not easy. I am pretty sure there were tears involved and for Miss Anni there were a few moments like this…..
