Hey everyone,
I hope you’re all well.
Several years ago, at the ripe age of 18 I had a Sinnis Apache 125 which I bought on finance to firstly use as beginner bike. This quickly changed as life changed, I had to use the bike as my sole transport to and from work (40 mile round trip).
I was a very new rider and had to ride in all different types of weather, a few times due to rider error and inexperience I came off. Nothing too bad, just a few slides and bruised ego. Fast forward a few months of doing this, my bike was stolen. Ever since then, I have never thought about owning another bike.
At the present moment, I’m just over a year away from graduating university as a paramedic and want to get back into biking - I want the freedom and excitement to that I felt when I rode. It will be my escape from the rough days.
As I am sure many of you are experienced riders, do you think that me coming back into riding and getting my full bike licence is a good idea? I’m a bit nervous because the most memorable memories that stick with me are me sliding off and having a bruised ego.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don’t know if I’m being silly or if my past experiences should definitely be an indicator that I shouldn’t ride a bike.
Cheers,
Beard
