I managed to roller blade for the first time today at Bishan Park during a cycling trip with my cousin. It’s not easy but I would say it’s relatively easy to grasp the concept once you get the hang of it. Less the occasional falls and attempts to balance myself at a public place.

It has been a long time since I last cycled. I remembered when I was young my uncle bought me a four-wheel BMX bicycle. Then, it was one of the coolest toys I ever had and as I began to ride and explore, I started removing the side wheels and eventually learning to ride only on two wheels. Of course, I suffered many bruises and falls and there were numerous times when I attempted to reconnect the bicycle chain every time it came off — not forgetting the scratches I left on the floor tiles.

I hope I would be able to enjoy such activities at a more constant rate as this can be another form of keeping fit besides regular swim and endurance run.
