Driven downwards
The staircase is relatively moderate in terms of the height of the steps and the distance between them.
I wanted to show a little boy that you can ride down there at a leisurely pace.
So I got on my bike at the top and had a firm grip on the brakes so that I didn't go too fast.
However, I had misjudged things a little, as the wheels didn't have any contact with the ground as I was going downhill, so I ended up going faster than I initially thought.
I had already seen myself falling, but just as I reached the bottom I was able to come to a halt without crashing my bike.
I was lucky.
Overconfidence is rarely good and can end quite badly with broken bones in old age.
