How did I learn to ride my cycle

I was very keen to ride a cycle, but the problem was I didnt know how to ride a 2 wheeler cycle and I had a 3 wheeler cycle. So my father told that you first learn with a 3 wheeler cycle and so he changed my cycle to a 3 wheeler cycle. From that day onwards me and my father got up at 5:00 am and we would go and practise for 2 hours. At first I was very scared but then I started building confidence and stamina over my self, but it was not too much for me to cycle without someone holding my back.I always trusted my father so I knew he was holding me but the fact was he was'nt and when ever I turned back to see if he was catching and saw that he was'nt doing what I expected him doing, I would loose my confidence and fall down. It took me 2 weeks to learn a 3 wheeler, and then 3 weeks to learn a 2 wheeler that's because I lost more confidence when I looked back to see if my father is catching me and discovered he is not. Now adays I love cycling, but again there is a problem my cycle is small for me, it has to be given for service and I need to get a new cycle and that too a gear one, and this cycle of mine ,my sister, Preksha took it.
