Basically last time I rode was not since I fell off my bike back In Spain when I was 9 or 10yrs old. (I didn't get hit or anything the brakes suddenly stopped working and went over the handle bars.I've still got the scar from that day but luckily ie'a not that visible. Just since then I've been put of riding but I know if I don't get back on soon (it's like the saying when you fall off a horse you should get back on or you won't later on well I didn't do that with my bike) But I do want to get on but being in England and living In a busy town my mum doesn't want me too. mainly because there's not many cycle lanes and because of idiot drivers. But the odd thing is she let's my older brother ride around (He's only 2 years older than me). It feels so different as in the other countries I lived in holland, Singapore and Spain my family biked alot (Especially in holland and Spain). Plus I sometimes hate relying on public transport especially the it's a sunny day
I know the rules of the road. Like your technically a veichle on the road. E.g you have to follow most road signs, traffic lights you can't bike on pavements etc... Obviously first I would get a helmet as my current ones too small and also I would never ride without one (Hate people that don't) and I would never ride in the dark (As that's a lot more dangerous and plus you need lights).
Any tips on convincing my parents?
