Video transcript

I was 4 when I got my first bike. It was a silver mountain bike with stabilisers. It was a birthday present from my family. My granddad helped me to ride it and he kept his hand on the seat. A few weeks later I tried without stabilisers and I could finally ride it without stabilisers and without granddad holding the seat. I rode around the block all day long. I rode my bike from my house to my nana’s house because I used to sleep at my nana’s on a Thursday. Then I would ride my bike there too. I would get a bath and my nana would cook my tea, usually chips and gravy. Then we would cartoons on the TV. I would go to sleep in my nana and granddad’s bed. Me and my aunty Georgina would eat breakfast and then wait for my mum to take us to school. Then I would come home and play on my bike again. I wonder how they learned to ride their bikes.
