Snapshop of getting your first bike-
"I received my first bike in 3rd grade. It was a black and orange Mongoose BMX bike. It was a single speed bike with pedal breaks. To me, it epitomized freedom and independence. No longer was I reliant on mom and dad for trips to the park, market or school. I had instantly expanded my grasp of the city. I could go the sports parks that once belonged to a strange and far away land. I felt as though I had this machine that provided me with limitless possibilities and also great responsibility. Recently, I received my uncle's old Univega Grand Rally as a gift. While it was in the shop being tuned-up I was overwhelmed with the same feeling of excitement. Receiving the old bike, as with riding it, gave me a calmness and levity that is rare in the fast-paced, twitter filled, energy drink fueled world of today."
