     Would you believe that it is part 2?

The bicycle is here.

You go down to the street and caress it.

Some tip to the driver and you enter the house.

Lift? No.

Doesn't enter.

Maybe it could enter, but only without you.

No place for both of you.

You decide not to think "Or I or it" and put it on your shoulder and begin to climb the steps.

No problem at all.

Why people say that it's difficult to take bicycles to homes in soried buildings?

A moment later you understand why.

You have to turn 180 degrees.

In the narrow staircase.

With bicycle.

You begin to think about dieting urgently and ask your neighbour to excuse you, because you rang his door unintentionally.

The moment he sees your bicycle, he believes you.

You succeed to make a quarter of the turn, but there is no place to continue.

You sit on the step and begin to learn the problem.

If you will move this back and this aside, you could succeed.

You are right - now you have to accomplish only half turn.

You try another tactics and here you are.

Just 9 more turns like this.

On sevenths you feel your hands begin to give and the bike vibrates more and more.

Eighth is the last you can do now.

So you leave it there and go outside to take some fresh air through the cigarette filter.

Then you return and finish the last lap.

You feel yourself a winner.

You humbly nod to yourself and enter the anteroom of your home.

Can you pass the turn it makes to the living room?

You did it easily, mentally putting a note to fix this hole in the wall from the bike's passage.

And now in the living room you begin to think - where the hell you will put the bicycle?

You could lean it near the table and cover it with a large cloth, so it would be a part of the table.

Very strange part of the table.

Most unpractical.

You decide to put the bike back into the anteroom.

It will be difficult to pass near it.

Maybe you will have to climb on, move forward and go down near the door?

Yes it works.

But backwards it doesn't.

So, you take the bicycle into the living room, go the other side of it and return the bike to the anteroom.

And now to the living room to rest.

And to think about tomorrow.

To plan the beginning of your ride-learning.
