Counseling Children Not Take Bicycle Driving To Major Roads
Everyone who have tested driving bicycle either for sports or fun will surely understand it's sweetness. From the day my father used to drive me and other of my sister's to school is the day is see the joy of driving a bicycle. My advice today is that we shouldn't allow the sweetness in driving a bicycle make us grow deaf on main road where trailers, buses, cars, and motorcycles are driving.
Today, I watched with my eye where a crazy car almost knocked down two brothers who were enjoying driving a bicycle for fun. The sweetness of the bicycle didn't allow those two children to know they were on major road. With what I saw, I was moved to our it into writing where the world will read through it.
With what I saw from those children driving a bicycle on a major road, it was a miracle that they came back to life without them nor their bicycle were affected. As the incident were still fresh, people gathered and was laying blame on the children without given them an insight of what they just did. If you don't let those children understand the danger of what happened to them, tomorrow they'll still bring out their bicycle and still drive on that same car major driving road.
With deep understanding of children's character when it comes to the sweetness of driving a bicycle, I called those two children, waited for people to live before talking to them. I made those children know that it's not adviceable for them to be driving a bicycle on a major road where dangerous cars are driving. I put it to them that we are in Nigeria where we have no road network for bicycle driving, it's only in foreign developed countries that such roads are provided and guarded.
The oldest boy among the two told me that their parents told them to go buy food that they'll be cooking for dinner. From there, they decided to enjoy themselves by driving a bicycle. Based on their statement and the love for bicycle by those children, I told them they could have just lost their life over enjoyment on major road. I told the children that there are still very active school fields within that they can always visit anytime they wish to drive a bicycle instead major roads. I gave the children the direction of where the fields are in case of tomorrow bicycle driving.
The two children were very happy with me and promised never to drive bicycle on a major road again. They also promised to be visiting me time to time to learn new things about bicycle driving.
