FIRST BIKE
The first bike he learned to ride on was a hand-me-down communal bike young children in his neighbourhood shared. The small yellow bike was a training bike that was shared between members of the community. Once a child grew out of it, it was passed on to another family. (stuff.co.nz, 29 Jul 2014)
