Father's plans and preparations
Father had planned t ride 21km on his bike for his 50th birthday
Father restored parts of the bike but changing out the chain and greasing it
Hr had pulled out a bone shaker replica from the shed
How I felt
Prove to everyone that despite him aging, he can still do youthful things
The bike hasn't been used in a long time, he should probabaly get it checked out professionally
Seems dangerous, as the bicycle looked very rusty which makes me think that it is too old to function properly
Hardships and challenges + Thoughts as i watched him cycle
Father's breathing was getting faster and harder. Thoughts: might faint as oxygen levels are low; may need medical attention
Father was drinking a good amount of water during the journey. Thoughts: He might run out of water which which might lead to extreme dehydration
The road was getting steeper. Thoughts: I was concerned that father would struggle with the climb as the nearby cars seemed exhausted after getting up the hill
Father's reaction
Father was laughing at his expressions alongside the family
He felt pride for attempting the adventure in the first place
Took a deep breath once the video was over, it seemed like he just had a flashback of the journey in his memories
