How I Grew & Appreciated a City Bike

By Rob Sutter


There are certain aspects of life that are givens as you grow up. While some of us may tie our shoes at different paces, others learn how to make their beds at the same kinds of rates as well. Riding a bicycle seems to be one of those things that falls into place just as well. A city bike was something that I struggled with growing up but after I learned how to use it effectively, I had no choice but to remember, forgetting not a single iota of information.

I believe a good amount of difficulty that I had originated from the fact that whether it was a city bike or not, learning was tough for me. I didn't have the easiest time recalling certain facts, so being able to learn was more of a challenge than it probably should have. I crashed against the pavement with authority while I learned more than a few times, though I believe it only made me more driven to continue driving. Once I finally had cycling down well, though, I started to appreciate the field that organizations such as Linus Bike offered.

As you could imagine, I started to learn to ride a bicycle amongst my many friends, so the pressure was most certainly on. I blame myself for putting unneeded stress on my being and my experience with this machine wasn't exactly ideal. I had to eventually take the training wheels off but even that presented a level of challenge that part of me wasn't entirely ready to take on. Having said that, though, stepping out of the comfort zone I had spent so much time in actually proved to be beneficial.

It goes without saying that a child goes through a great deal of difficulty when learning how to ride a bicycle. However, I'd make the argument that adults who hadn't learned, either through a sheltered life or otherwise, would have a much more trying experience. It's not the easiest task in the world to pick up on information when you're well into your thirties, for instance. I've seen people try, though, and their attempts were mostly met with success since they put so much work into the process.

I wasn't the kind of child who picked up on everything instantly; it took me longer to learn and when I did, it was tougher for me to forget. That's the way I learned and looking back on it, it hasn't always been beneficial. Perhaps I would have learned how to ride to the fullest extent at a much faster pace if matters were different. However, I was able to learn and it made my appreciation of a city bike community grow that much more.
