summary of going down hill on bicycle
Answers
Hola mate...
In this poem the poet describes how he feels when he is rolling down a hill.The poem describes the excitement of going downhill on a bicycle. The poet describes how he stands ready at the top of a hill, his feet lifted and hands steady. Then he starts rolling down and the wind rushes by. As the bicycle picks up speed, it seems to the speaker that he is actually flying this is a exciting and joyous
moment and the poet feels that this gives him the freedom of bird. It helps him understand the joy and freedom of flying. He wonders if there is any experience that comes close to the feeling of complete happiness that he is experiencing. Skating is a sport that merely ties him to the ground, thanks to the heavy steel skates that he has to wear. As the bicycle slows down, it seems to him that he is floating in a boat that rides the wind. He finds that he has to begin cycling again. He regrets the fact that a long hill ends in a valley. But he understands that anyone who has the dedication and determination to climb the hill will be rewarded. He will find opportunities that give him wings and help him to fly above the world and touch the sky.

Remember that pneumatic tires (air-filled tires) were not invented until 1888.
Before the invention of the pneumatic tyre, bicycle riding was very uncomfortable (early bicycles had almost no suspension) and riding at speed (above, say, 10 mph) was quite dangerous.
Beeching's poem was written within a generation of the emergence of the bicycle as a viable means of travel. First generation mass-produced bicycles were hugely cheaper than horses (the only common alternative form of local transportation), and downhill could get up to gallop speeds.
The boy in this poem may never have traveled faster than 10 mph before. And before he had his bicycle, he could visit only places close enough to walk to. It is natural that he finds his bicycle as strange and as liberating as a magic carpet.
People forget that the bicycle was the first important technology which made the world smaller. Railways, and motor cars, and Aeroplanwould eventually arrive - but it was the bicycle that allowed ordinary people to travel for the first time in human history.
We need poems like this to remind us what advanced technology the bicycle once was.
