Sad Moment of a Child Riding an Old Bicycle, Dried Coconut Forced to Be a Replacement for the Saddle

Dream - Maybe now many children can ride motorcycles. They are allowed by their parents to ride motorcycles on the streets. However, it's different with this one child. He is still loyal to using a pedal bike. He is not ashamed to ride on the streets using a bike. What's interesting is that he slips a plastic cup on the wheel, creating a sound when the bike is pedaled. So the bike sounds like a motorbike powered by an engine. This method is commonly done by many children in the past. However, this habit is becoming less and less common.

"Child Riding an Old Bicycle"

In the viral video, the teenager can be seen placing an empty plastic cup between the spokes of his bicycle wheels to produce sound. After installing it, the teenager gets back on his bike.

The bicycle looks old and unfit for use anymore. Moreover, considering the condition of its seat that is already damaged. In order for the bicycle to still be usable, the teenager used a dried coconut as a replacement for the seat. That moment was uploaded by the TikTok account @darma28_05.

However, the person recording the video from inside the car appears to ask him something. While spinning a dried coconut to make it comfortable to sit on, the child answers the question from the person recording the video in the car."

Then, the child continued his journey. Casually, he pedaled his bike while sitting on a dried coconut husk. He also appeared to not be wearing any footwear.
