How would you feel?: Describe how you would feel watching a bike designed by YOU win an international race.
I would probably feel proud, glad and delighted because It’s my own creativity. Watching others riding it, especially when it won in an international race makes you feel relieved. All of the hard work you did was extremely worth it. You’ll immediately remember the first time you tried to build that bike, it usually fails if you make it the first time, especially if you did it many times and it fails and you have no more hope that it’ll actually work.
