I learnt to drive a bicycle at the age of 11. I was told by my elder brother that a man can learn to drive bicycle only after he has a big fall to remember. And guess what, I fell off my bike, breaking my left limb. After around 2 months, I could make it on the bicycle!

Ya, I know. It was just to persuade me not to worry even if I fell down while learning to drive.

I started learning very late as I was in Srilanka till I finished my schooling in a hill country where it was extremely difficult to bycycle.After coming to India I started to learn.Falling while learning? Is there a single person in the whole world who hasn't fell down while learning cycling. "Spread a smile"

I learned bicycle when I was 10 years old. I fell down when my dad left the cycle and I was severely injured and I didn't touch the cycle for 6 months. Then started driving alone...

I learnt to cycle at the age of around nine or ten I guess. No, I never fell as I learnt as my dad had the trainers attached to the rear wheels so I never could really fall. Anyways after learning I did have pretty bad falls that I never had while I was learning. I have even had had to put on stitches at my elbow region. Man, this topis really reminds me of that sunday afternoon when dad brought me that gleaming red BMX bike!
