What physical circumstances makes riding a bicycle difficult for Jonas in The Giver by Lois Lowry?

Answer 1

It is not really difficult for Jonas to ride a bicycle until the end of the book when Jonas has been riding his father's bike which doesn't fit him, for days on end with a baby seat straped onto the back and a baby in it (I can't remember the baby's name). This makes it hard for Jonas. He also is riding the bike up hills. read the book. it's good, i promise.

the baby's name is gabriel

Answer 2

Jonas struggles with riding a bicycle in "The Giver" due to the lack of experiencing physical pain or discomfort in his controlled community. Since he has never felt pain before, the sensations from falling off the bicycle and getting hurt are new and overwhelming for him. Additionally, the lack of guidance or prior knowledge about riding a bike makes it challenging for Jonas to navigate and balance.
