#13 my favorite

 There are many ways to get around, skateboards, walking, cars, segways, and even scooters. But out of all of these modes of transportation bicycles are my all time favorite. I first fell in love with cycling when i began, The first time was at my preschool. The school had little all steel bikes and metal big wheels. I would watch the others ride around while i sat on the swings with my best friend at the time. I remember always wanting to ride a bike I just never knew how, So one day I decided to give it a try. I hopped on started pushing the petals forward and before I knew it I was actually riding a bike. It may have been for only about thirty feet but I was still so excited that I actually had ridden a bike.
 Riding a bike is really enjoyable for me because it's so simple and you really get to take in everything around you.  The First bicycle made with pedals and a turning device was made in the 1860's by two brothers. There names were Pierre and Ernest Michaux, they are not the first inventors of the bicycle but the earliest recorded cycle inventors of the modern day bicycle. 
The Bicycle has come along way and has had many modifications the most interesting one I've seen is my friend Evan's. Evan's bike is a relatively new beach cruiser but what's so cool about is it's motor powered. It is motor powered by a lawn mower engine and can coast at a speed up to 30mph. The way it works, well I'm not to sure how exactly to brake it down but it looks the engine sits above the bike chain pushers the back rotator up and over continuously once you start to pedal.
