I was eight, and I trained on my motherĀ“s bicycle. It was rather big of course but I never fell when I trained. Later when I got my own bicycle I fell several times. What about you, what age were you? How long did it take to learn?

Bicycle - A kid on a bike.
I do not remember my age but I do remember that I kept peddling back wards and falling over. It was very frustrating to me.

Thank you everyone for your responses, they are interesting and fun and I rated all with a +. I am learning how to get responses, a simple question is best and gives room for creativity from the posters.

I don't remember how old I was, but my son was 3 1/2, that summer he started doing wheelies, he always feel, but then he didn't want to just ride, he wanted to do stunts. The first time he rode, he went straight into the trees, steering did not occur to him

Steering did not occur to him? OK, that's scary because steering never occurred to me when I was learning to drive a CAR.

I rode a tricycle at 3, and my own bike at 5. It took my dad a week to get me to go around the church parking lot without falling. I really should have had knee pads!

well let's see...I'm 25, turning 26 in April and...hmmm, that was in nineteen...minus five.........well, NEVER! LOL! I have never learned to ride a bike! Jeez, poor me! I'm like Phoebe in "Friends". Seriously, that's in my list of to do things before I die. :) I just hope I have the time to do that before I get married and have kids and my children got to learn it before I do. :)

I learnt to ride a bicycle when i was at the age of 10years, i think it was 1999 when i started learning it . It was my friends cycle and at that time i was dying to ride a bicycle because no one used to give me their bicycle and i was not having it at that time . Afterwards when i came to 9th standard dad gave me my brothers bicycle.I still enjoy riding a bicycle.

I tried learning by myself when I was thirteen, I guess. After a lot of fall and a scraped knee, I learned finally on my own.
