Question

Poll: How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike?

Answer 1

4 years old when I started to learn on how to ride a bike.

It was somewhat hard because I envy other kids having to learn biking with those additional small wheels with the rear tire.  But then I realized I would d**n learn better without depending on those small wheels attached with the rear tire. And d**n I am proud!~

I had a few scratches/scars on my knees (barely visible) and on my elbows(visible when you pay attention at it). It was the most exciting experience I've encountered with when I was a small kid.  My elderly cousins/relatives would train me in different kinds of places; parking lot(not cemented all dirt and rocks), rocky road, hills, open farm, forest, etc., etc.  It was all worth it because of able to learn riding a bicycle gave me an opportunity to be able to ride comfortably and confidently motor bicycles which is d**n cool!

Answer 2

5 years old, never had training wheels. I told my parents I didn't want them. they ran along a few times, but after 2 or 3 days I was on my own. thanks to Toughskins jeans I didn't get too many scrapes until I started jumping! now I've got scars from a horrible road crash, chain ring scars from the trails, scars from unleashed dogs, and room for more...

Answer 3

It took me a while, I believe I kept the training wheels on the bike until I was about 11. Lucky to say that I can ride a two-wheeler now without the training wheels. =D

Answer 6

I was about 9 years old when I learn how to ride a bike. All my friends, my mom, and uncle try to teach me to ride a bike but I just could not do it until one day I got on my bike and try not to fall down and that's how I learned.

Answer 12

I didn't get a bike until I was 7. I looked stupid riding with training wheels at that age. I learned that I could go in a straight line without the training wheels, so I took them off.

My Mother doesn't drive, so I used the bike a lot to get around.

I've logged over 140,000 miles by bicycle to this date.

Answer 13

Answer 14

I was 10 years old, it was a BMX and I was using training wheels LOL.
