I was a late learner
when it came to riding a bike. I had no interest until I was eleven and my younger sister got a bike. So I had to get one too. I spent more time off it than on, and was covered from head to toe in grazes and bruises. My mum was terrified that my school teacher would see the state of me when I was getting changed for PE, put two and two together to make five, and call social services!

Fortunately she didn't!
