I went to get my helmet, and then what? Who can add the next detail?

First Draft My aunt gave me a bike for my eighth birthday. I was so surprised! It was bright red, including the wheels. I could not wait to try it, so I ran and got my helmet. When I got it outside, I swung my leg over the bike. It was big! I almost did not fit. I was not sure how to get going on it. So I hopped along and tried to get up by myself. That was not a good idea! I asked my aunt to help me. She held onto the bike while I peddled. I fell a few more times, but I learned how to do it! Now, I need help to write an ending: I was so happy to be riding the bike! But then I saw the end of the road. I quickly learned how to use the brakes too!
