Hi! How did you learn to ride the bike?

Question

and how long did you take to acquire the skill?

Answer 1

Training wheels, takes away the need for people holding onto you (Parents really didn't want to be chasing me around, probably wise on their part)

I had somebody (bloody roller bladers) crash into me (they were going the wrong way at a kids cycleway) and they broke my training wheels, so Mum got a spanner, took them off, and off I went again

Answer 2

The summer I turned 5 my dad gave me a bike with training wheels on it. I rode it everyday for about a month, and then my dad took the training wheels off. He put me on the bike, ran along side of me until I got up to speed, and then let go. I crashed only a few times before I could ride on my own.

Answer 3

My dad put me on the bike and gave me a push. I went about 100 feet and fell over. A few days later I was riding by myself.

Answer 4

when i was 4 years old.......about 30 min.............

im a boy though so it might be different for girls

Answer 5

I had a little bike with training wheels and when I was probably 5 or 6, my parents took them off and had me ride while my dad ran behind me holding the seat. Once I learned to hold my balance, I was fine.  

Answer 6

about an hour. my parents ran behind me a few times, and I dumped the bike a few times, but I learned in about an hour. I was 5. I never had training wheels.

by contrast, my 9 year old daughter finally loosed herself of training wheels this spring. she is now near unstoppable on her Gary Fisher Pre-Caliber..

Answer 7

i went in the park with my cousin and i started pedaling and he told me he was going to hold my bike so i couldn't fall and after 10 meters i realized he had let me go and i was riding on my own.

if you don't have anyone who can help you, just stop being scared that you're gonna fall.

Answer 8

My Dad took me to this Dead End there it only took me about 25 minutes. He hold on to me then he let go and there you go, I was bikeing.

Don't be afraid of falling, almost everyone falls when they try to learn how to ride a bike.
