First Steps
- Before everything, the bike was on my Wedding Cake.
- I've always had a bicycle. I got my first bike when I was 7 years old.
- I made friends who liked the same hobby.
- There were some bike rides in Brasília and I always went to these rides. Sometimes alone.
- Interesting: There was a cemetery to get to school. I crossed as fast as I could to get to school as quickly as possible.
Teenager
- Take the bus in Goiânia. No way!
- I used to go to school by bicycle.
- Not just school, I went everywhere.
- Since I started dating my wife, we've gone out everywhere.
- Of course, we've already fallen off the bicycle. And it wasn't just once.
