Steep road hampers fast cycling for school

Are you really not able to reach your school on time? The teacher most recently raised this relevant query regarding students' tardy arrival at the school grounds. Yesterday, he entered the school gate a few minutes late, thereby making him the only student in his senior class to be so. He was not late as he confidently said, but he was accused of being late since he took a little longer to park his bicycle on the stand. 

As we head into the looming winter season, cold mornings make students lethargic about getting ready for school. This leads students to take some more time getting ready for school. Above all, if the plain, straight road leading to the school remains relatively steep, the lightweight cycle takes a little extra time to cover the exact distance. However, it is not always put into consideration by the school. 

For his part, he has always been amazed by the rigid educators who, despite convention to the contrary, do not believe that entering the prominent school gate would take place more promptly than the allotted hour. He tries to say that if he uses a two-wheeler, his constant problem of being late would go away. 

However, his guardian forbids him from using the two-wheeler. He cycles slowly on such a road due to its steepness. This turns into a surefire reason for his tardiness. 

He refuses to accept any other explicit explanation for his delay. Due to his tardiness, he had to sprint the entire school field. But as the whole class applauded when he entered the classroom, all of his intense disappointment subsided within a fraction of a second.
