Bicycle Crash

…………I had a bad experience about riding a bicycle. When I was young, about 10 years old, I rode a bicycle from my house to the school. There were a lot of children who did that including my friend. I had to ride through the market which had a lot of people and cars. I always rode together with friend who lived in the same street. I raced a bike with my friend and I’ve a bad experience from it.
…………One day we decided to race while coming back home and that was the last time for me because I have a bicycle crashed. When the school bell rang, a lot of children ran out of the class room and grabbed their bicycles to head back home. My friend and I were one of them too. We ran so fast to the bicycle because we decided to race our bike. We rode very fast to become the winner. At first, I was the leader. Meanwhile my friend tries to go ahead but it didn’t happen. Then we arrived at the market. There were loud noise, plenty of people and cars. It looked really chaotic because everybody was moving and shouting at that time. At the same time, there were traffic jammed on the street which I couldn’t ride pass. The 2 cars blocked the way I wanted to go. While I decided which way to go, suddenly, my friend who followed me saw a gap between 2 cars in front of us. After that he rode so fast and rode through that little gap. I was surprised. For now, he became the leader. I really wanted to win, so I tried to ride through the gap like my friend did but I couldn’t. Unfortunately, the back of my bike hit the car on the left. I almost lost control of my bicycle and the wheel lost the shape a bit. I was shocked because I’ve never hit anything before. I was about to cry but my instinct told me to escape from there as fast as I could. When I arrived home, I told my parent what I just did. After listened to the story, they said that I shouldn’t be worried. If the driver wanted the damages, they will take care of it. And I told them that I was afraid of getting caught. My parent tried to comfort me that the police won’t lock the little girl like me in the jail but I couldn’t believe them. However, nothing happened, I guess because the driver didn’t know who that person was or maybe the driver didn’t want to catch a little like me. I suffered an extremely bad feeling for a week before I was sure that I will be ok.
…………After this bicycle crash, I never raced again. I learnt that doing thing with carelessness will cause a huge damage. From that story, even I didn’t get caught or hurt but I remember how suffered that it take by the feeling about panic, shocked and afraid of being caught. For now I always ride or drive everything slowly and carefully because I don’t want to suffer the bad feeling again.
