Good story # 3

One day after class I was messing around on one of the kids bikes, and then one of the other kids wanted to try it. Soon enough after handing the bike over, I realized that this boy didn´t know what he was doing. What has been such a big part of my life for a long time, these boys at 11 years old never really had the opportunity to learn to ride a bike. After a sloppy conversation in Spanish and a few visual tips, Carlos was up and riding for the first time. I won´t forget the smile he had as he made a few shaky turns around the court. This helped give the confidence for Fabian to try as well, and a couple attempts later he was up and riding. I never expected at this point that I would be holding kids up on bikes and letting them pedal away, but it sure is fun.
