Costa Rica: Bicycles, Birthdays and Teachers · Global Voices
Juliana Rincón Parra

Julio Cordoba on his birthday post brings us a glimpse of  everyday life:  he recalls his triumphant feeling when his dad taught him how to ride a bicycle when he was 12. Years later, he discovered his father was a better teacher than he had thought: his father had never learned how to ride a bicycle himself, since he didn't have one when he was growing up.
