My Old Bicycle

My Old Bicycle

            Everyone like to ride a bicycle, although Britisher like to ride bicycle for  their daily routine activity. By the same token, with we ride the bicycle, we can get benefit or advantage from if for example: with ride the bicycle make me health, ride a bicycle is same with make exercise or jogging, free pollution and free fuel. But for the writer, since I was young about 6 or 7 years old, I always rode a bicycle to go anywhere I like. Additionally, in my family the vehicle in our house is the bicycle, but I’m not to condescending but this is a matter of fact.

My old bicycle            Since I was studied at High school, I rode the bicycle from my home to the school with distance only 8 Km. So, I must get up early in morning because I’m afraid to late go to school. Sometime, I prepared some foodstuffs in my beg. But then, sometime my bicycle had out of order like the bicycle-tire was flat or the worse moment I had experience, while in the middle I rode my bicycle, at the time was heavy rain and I must hurry to go the school my bicycle-tire was leak because stuck of nail. So you can imagine, with in the middle roadway, with heavy rain I was stuck. At the time, I felt disappointed and asked my self, “if I have motorcycle, I’m sure this situation is never happened”. With in my heart felt so crestfallen, I  perforate my bicycle to the school.

            For 3 years, I rode the bicycle to the school. I had a lot of experience. While I must go to school for took some extracurricular tutorial lesson in my school. In the middle way my bicycle-tire was flat, again I must perforate my bicycle but not for long I got some help from my classmate to rode with his motorcycle but at the time I don’t know where is the workshop, so I must to carried my bicycle on my shoulder to the school. But when the tutorial class was finish, I’m must perforate my bicycle again. So from the school to my house was far distance, till in my house was 17.00 WIB. At the time my feeling about my bicycle was repeatable, “if I have motorcycle this situation are never happened”.

            Since the time, I’m always ask to my parent to buy the motorcycle but I know how is the economic my parent. So from that, I keep my ambition, one day If I success I can buy anything what I want it. While in the graduation in high school, my friends had prepared with their motorcycle to convey around the city but I’m just ignore them. And while the graduation announced, I’m the first person to go back home, because I don’t want to think about the invitation from my friends, make me felt so disappointed with my condition.

            After 4 years graduation from High school, I’m studied in some University. As of students in final semester had to make research, so  I choose for my place of research is my High school. Additionally, my title of research is appropriate with High school curriculum. So this is make me remember with my experience to High school. Once again, I must rode my old bicycle to the school to took the sample what I want for my research.

            During 2 weeks, I rode with my bicycle for solve my data collection in High school. Had one moment make me felt about my old bicycle repeatable but I don’t want to think more deeply, I’m just want to finish my research in High school. Like in the lyric of song Sudirman: Basikal Tua:

Lyric of song Sudirman: Basikal Tua

Riang hati ku badan bertuah

Punya teman yang comel dan manja

Berjanji akan slalu bersama

Menemani ku sepanjang masa

Aku hidup serba sederhana

Tiada harta tiada rupa

Hanya yang ada budi bahasa

Harta sekadar basikal tua

Orang biasa basikal tua

Orang biasa basikal tua

Walau kemana ia meminta

Ku bawa dengan hati yang bangga

Senang melihat ia ketawa

 Duduk di palang basikal tua

Aaa…. Aaa… aaa… aaa…

Biar pun hidup aku begini

Berbasikal pada tiap hari

Namun hatiku riang selalu

Tiada hutang dating mengganggu

Angan –angan ku di suatu masa

Basikal kan ku tukar kereta

Tapi kekasihku tak setuju

Mungkinkah dia rasa cemburu

Orang biasa basikal tua

Orang biasa basikal tua

            And now, I’m still can’t ride the motorcycle although nowadays so many variety of motorcycle has cheaper and easy to ride. I’m still love my bicycle.
