If I were to ask, “What’s your best childhood memory?“, most of us would say, “The day my parents bought me a bicycle was the best childhood memory.” Indeed, it is true. Even after driving a luxurious car, we still miss that pleasure of riding a bicycle. Those were the days! Aha! Would you believe that the bicycle mechanism teaches us the best relationship advice? Let me explain it.

Important Parts of a Cycle:

• Front Tyre: It’s you
• Rear Tyre: Your Partner
• Chain: A bond that connects both of you
• Pedal: Efforts
• Front Brake and Rear Brake
• Handle

With the help of the Chain, the Rear Tyre is connected with the crank arm, and the crank arm with the pedal. So, when you move the pedal in the forward direction, the cycle will move forward accordingly.

In life, the Chain is a bond of understanding that connects two people; the Rear Tyre is your partner, and the pedal is your efforts. You put your efforts to push the pedal in the forward direction, and the Chain maintains support between the crank arm and the Rear Tyre. In the end, you will move forward effortlessly. This is how an ideal relationship should work! A bond that helps both people move forward in life effortlessly.

Imagine that the Rear Tyre has lost the connection with the Chain. Now, if you put effort and push the pedal, you still will not move forward in any direction. Why? The reason is that there is no connection between the Rear Tyre and the Chain. Similarly, if you don’t have a strong bond of understanding with your partner, then your efforts will be wasted, and you will end up nowhere.

Tell me, “How do you stop your bicycle in an emergency?” You press both rear and front brakes together. Here, the front and rear brakes represent our ego, attitude, or I can say personality. To avoid an emergency or at the time of emergency, you and your partner must brake at the right time. This is how you can enjoy your ride together and avoid an accident in your relationship. Also, I would like to advise you that you may think of a one-brake approach, but it will not help you for a long time, and eventually, you will be in an emergency situation.

Handling is the key to moving forward in the right direction. The handle of the cycle is connected with the Front Tyre, and according to the movement of the handle, the front Tyre works. So, it’s your responsibility to handle your relationship because you are the Front Tyre, and you are the captain of it.

Now, imagine all the parts are working smoothly. You can imagine an amazing riding experience. And, the same with your partner. You will enjoy your relationship while riding the bicycle.

“Consider life as an imperishable journey. Get ready your cycle, and ride. Enjoy this imperishable journey, and don’t forget to brake at the right time while handling it carefully.”
