📝 Story: My First Bicycle

Today, I get my very first bicycle. It is bright red and shiny. I feel excited and a little nervous. This bicycle is new and special to me. 🚲

My family gives me the bicycle on my birthday. I wear a small helmet and my favorite shoes. I learn how to pedal, brake, and steer. At first, I fall a few times, but I try again. Every fall helps me learn to ride better.

I practice in the park. The park is green and full of trees. I ride on the soft grass and smooth paths. The wind blows in my hair and the sun warms my face. I feel happy and free when I ride my bicycle. 😊

As I ride, I see many interesting things. I pass by colorful flowers, friendly dogs, and other children who ride their bicycles too. I wave at them and smile. Riding my bicycle makes my day fun and full of adventure.

After a long ride, I stop to rest under a big tree. I drink some water and look at the sky. I feel proud because I can ride my bicycle now. My bicycle is not just a toy—it is my friend that helps me explore the world.

Every day, I ride my bicycle a little more. I learn to go faster and turn smoothly. I even decorate my bicycle with stickers. It makes my bicycle look unique and happy, just like me!

I love my first bicycle. It gives me the chance to be brave and active. I am excited for many more rides and adventures. 🚲❤️
