First cycling memory

Trying to learn how to ride without training wheels in a park with my parents - when I was... 4 or 5 years old.

Favourite bike

My current bike - blue, the smallest bike from Merida.

Top climb

I am still a beginner rider so no really big hills, but many small hills near my house in Furano.
