Girl on a Bicycle

Girl on a Bicycle @ Singapore Botanic Gardens  

My dad bought me a bicycle, a blue 2-wheeler, when I was in primary 4 as a reward for doing well in my exam. If I remember correctly, it cost more than $80 which was pretty expensive back in those days, more than 20 years ago. I never learnt to cycle on 4 wheels, because my neighbour who taught me to cycle had removed the extra wheels and progressed to a 2-wheeler by then so I had to learn it that way.

The pose with the 2 legs held up in front is a familiar one - that was what we did when careening down the slope.
