went cycling with pee and jf at bishan park today. considering that i had not touched a bicycle for 2 years since i last learnt in sec4, it was a great achievement.
i was a late learner because i have a phobia for cycling. (note the tense) when i was young, i cycled in with this little red 4-wheeled bike at home. the more i cycled, the happier i was and the faster i paddled. when i was supposed to make a turn, i lost control of that bike, flew out of it and hurt my forehead. it was bloody painful, literally. end up, i had a scar on my forehead. it is not very obvious because i got it when i was young. so i guess the mark will fade as i grow older.
anyway, i got very irritated with myself half way through the route. i just could not control the direction in which the bike would go to when there were many turns and bends. my arms would straighten and i could feel the tension in my muscles but i could not relax. so i was left with the last option which was to jump off the bike. it was very frustrating when i just could not get things done in the way i want it to be. i dont understand why. i just need more practices to perfect my skills or am i still living in my nightmare?
when it was about time for us to go, i challenged myself to go through the route again and not to stop at all. i took it slow and steady. stay focus. i tried my best not to speed (pee's advice) and it did work. at least i only stopped twice. that's not bad for my standard.
so much for a cycling experience.
what's next? inline skating. =)
