I learnt to ride my bike here
to be honest it wasn't that long ago, but i remember my parents said "you're gonna learn to ride your bike" so we went to the park at the bottom of the road, they took the stabilisers off and i had the classic thing of my dad running behind me holding on to the seat and trying to keep up, he didn't like it that much
funny story about my dad is that he only learnt to ride a bike at 18, before he went to uni, so he lived in newcastle which has alleys at the back of all the main roads, so he said he had to learn before he went off to uni and all he other younger) kids were laughing at him
