Firsts

[LT. COL. John Sheppard]

this game is basically saying the first thing you did like first job can be really fun and funny
my first sport was Cricket

[Cold Fuzz]

first time I rode a bike.... oh wait, that actually hasn't happened yet. That's correct. I'm 35 and I have never done anything with a bicycle. That's what happens when you live in an area where driving is an absolute necessity.

First sport was American football. Love it to this day!

Wow, net even as a child? First time I rode a bike was around my fourth birthday, when I got my first real bike. It's one of my earliest memories and the bike (this cute little red thing with white tires) is still somewhere on my mother's attic

I remember the first time.... I saw a "The first time you ever...." thread, oh wait I don't as there has been so many of them .

Ok, let's see... my first job was packing customers' bags in Asda (that's the UK's Wal-mart), and my first concert was Rick Wakeman.

My first sport? football, but that soon went by the way side for rugby league and to a lesser extent cricket.

Not even on a sidewalk or driveway as a kid? Yikes! I had my first bicycle before I started kindergarten.

My first big family vacation involved going to Florida to visit relatives.

From what I can remember, my first sport was Soccer. Wasn't particularly a fan of it but I did play it the best that I can.

My first bike was an old BMX.. I don't remember where it came from.. The way my street was laid out there was an area of grass with two trees on it with two houses on each of three sides and a row of parking spaces and the road on the fourth.. I spent hours each day trying to ride it around the grass, I was about 7 or 8 at the time, I think... It felt like I was out there for months.. although it was probably just the summer holidays (which seems like it goes on forever when you're seven ) and when I finally got my balance and was able to ride It was the greatest moment of my life All that hard work paid off and it was definitely worth it

Then not long afterwards while out with my friends we came across this huge and very steep hill... With bollards and one of those fences that cover half the path on one side and then another fence that covers the other side a few feet back.. obviously intended to kill anyone attempting to ride though it..

And as I said my bike was old.. and it didn't have any brakes.. So going down the hill at speed, which was exciting and with no sense of danger I was just enjoying the ride Until.. the bollards.. And you can guess what happened next..

I was actually set up to learn how to drive a car form a very young age. My dad in particular was big set on that mindset. Consequently, the idea of riding a bike actually never really occurred to me. I don't remember my brother riding a bike either.

See, I can't even imagine the idea of driving a car someday being in any way connected with whether or not a child would ride a bicycle. They weren't really seen as equivalent where I'm from. Bikes were for playing and exercise, and the fact that we kids used them as a means to get around faster than walking alone would have done was strictly a side benefit. I grew up in a rural neighborhood, so adults really couldn't go places without driving... but for a kid, being able to bike in the driveway or up and down the road to a friend's house was just something we all took for granted.

After all, it wasn't as if any of us could go and get driver's licenses until at least the age of 16 anyway...

(Later, bicycling did turn out to be a form of transportation for me, as I didn't have a car during my early college years, and at that time I lived in town where you actually could accomplish most things with a bike or on the bus. But that was never on anyone's mind when I was a kid.)
