Long time ago, when I was 14-15, I wanted my parents to buy me a mountain bike. That time I didn't know that real mountain bikes were 10-20 times more expensive than the regular ones, although they look almost the same.
There were no limits of my happiness and gratitude when I got my own bike on my birthday! But the bike's gear shift mechanism broke down on the next day. It didn't take much time to repair that mechanism, but I was not that excited anymore.
And guess what, I started to learn the stunts shortly thereafter! It is needless and impossible to count all the scars and traumas I had gotten, riding that bike. Sometimes I hit the trees with my forehead because of the slippery and muddy road. Sometimes I fell over the rudder, because of the branch of the tree, stuck in the front bike wheel.
Nowadays I miss riding the bike in the forest.
But there is no doubt, that bike has became my friend and every single ride on it, is my unforgettable moment!

No, Camel, my head is more than okay.
And it would be really nice to keep riding a bike.
Thank you!
İs your head ok now? (Sometimes I hit the trees with my forehead because of the slippery) :) if you have a thick head like me, dont worry keep continue to bike.. :)
You are right, Fizzy! :)
you should buy a new one
Ohhhh, I guess, it is common everywhere! :)
But the same way as with humans, we often forget to say thank you to them.
And I guess, you enjoy riding inside forest even more because of that distance.
Thank you for sharing, Estanis!
Have a nice weekend! 8-)
My bike's name was "Highway"
Does your bike have a name?
Yes, Estanis, if only you could tell it to me about 10 years ago.
Do you have a forest close to your home or house in the village?
Hey.. you shouldn't leave the good habits Roman. Must be exciting getting lost in the Ucranian forests with your bike :)
I'll introduce you to the one I do it with...
