Learning to Ride a Bike

D and I shared our first bicycle.  It was light blue and had training wheels.  We would ride it up and down the sidewalk in front of our house.  One day our dad wanted us to ride the bike without the training wheels.  D made it on the first try.  I fell over the first time I tried.  But after that I was just fine.  Later on, our parents told us that my dad had been slowly raised the training wheels up off the ground.  So we were riding the bike without the help of the training wheels and didn’t even know it.  That man could be very sneaky at times!
