Dear Diary,
Today was the best day of the year. For my eleventh birthday, my parents gave me a new bike! It is blue and silver, and it has seven gears. I wanted it for a very long time.
After lunch, my brother Owen and I rode to the park near our house. At first I was a little nervous, because the new bike is bigger than my old one. I almost fell when I turned a corner. But after ten minutes, I felt like a professional rider.
Owen showed me how to use the gears on the hill. Going up was hard, but going down was amazing. The wind was in my face, and I laughed all the way.
Tomorrow I want to ride to school. Mom says I must always wear my helmet, and she is right. Good night!
