Costa Rica: Bicycles, Birthdays and Teachers

Categories: Latin America, Costa Rica, Education, Youth

Julio Cordoba on his birthday post [1]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.
