How I did it: A friend  of mine was moving out and gave me her bike (Thanks Hannah), another friend assembled me and took me to a parking lot which slightly slanted down (thanks Jo!) and pushed me down. I had been struggling for months on even ground but the moment i got in that lot, the momentum just took me and i just pedaled on!it was really awesome. After that my 8yr old egged me on (thanks Lex!!) and with her help, i got to learn how to get going on even ground, how to control the bike (by leaning in the direction of the turn) and here i am now!!

Lessons & tips: -get a downward sloping parking lot. Take a friend with u if u think u'll look like a dork. That friend might come in handy, too, to hold the bike up.
-start pedalling really fast, and off u go!

Resources: Lots of friends. And a helmet
