Well, i am not lucky as you. I mean i have never received a children's bicycle ever. So i didn't know how to ride after i was 12yrs old. That is because i must go to a far middle school to study that i began to learn how to ride a bicycle. Well, i was really very dumpish.And my father made a lots of efforts to teach me. And now,my son is only 5 yrs old,he has know how to ride a bicycle when he was 3 yrs old.And his next aim is to learn how to ski.

I hate to say this but i had to be at least 11. My friend finally helped me learn. She told me she would push me and stay behind me. She let go and i kept riding. She yelled at me "your riding by yourself" I turned to look at her and ran into a bush.lol But after that I could ride.

I was only ten years old when i drove my brother's full size bicycle with his help. But it was my bad experience of life becoz just after dat he left me alone with his bicycle, and i met with an accident and i got 5 stiches on my leg. Well it was a gud learning experience as well in my life and i got new cycle in eight standard , i drove it after school to my uncles house. On the second day of purchase of my new bicycle i drove it to 15 miles away frm my place.....

I was six years old when I finally learned to ride a "two-wheeler". I had the same bike for the past few years-a shiny red forgotten brand with a yellow banana seat and training wheels. I rode it as often I could until it was decided that I was "too old" for training wheels. It was time for them to come off and time for me to learn to ride without assistance. My child learned just this last year.

In our country,India,you can not ride a geared bike until you are 18.However.Cycling is that most people do.First,tri-cycle,then bi-cycle,then scooteret/moped,then bike.

I think I was still a toddler when I first learned how to ride a bike, it's the typical three wheel bike for young kids. The first time I rode a two wheel bike was when I was 5 years old, I was so scared at first but my uncle patiently taught me to how to balance myself. Now I'm not sure if I can still ride a bike. :(

I learned to ride a bike when I was about 6, because a cousin of mine loves to share his bike and that most of the times his mother wouldn't let him go outdoors. But I learned to ride it expertly when I was about 12, when my parents bought it for me as gift after I graduated grade school. After that, I didn't pursue any such things as joining a club or owning a bike again..

Even I learnt biking when I was seven years old, and I also got it as my birthday present.. Though it was hard for me to learn it at first, but in 3 mnths or so, I had mastered it.. I cud even ride the bicycle without my hands on the handle of my bike...

I was 16 when I rode a motorbike. It was not on the main roads but on the interior roads of a less populated locality. It was very exciting to ride a bike for the first time. When I told a few people who saw me riding the bike that it was my first chance, they did not believe. Even I did not believe easily! Releasing the clutch the first time gave a bit of jerk but subsequently, I improved in the same trip. It was a short trip of about half a kilometre.

I think I was nine when I first learned how to ride a bike. It was not my first time riding a bike but during that time I was determined to drive the bike. Because the last time I was using a balancer.. I enjoyed biking! I had not rode a bike for years and last year I was able to ride again and luckily I still know how.. So now I ride a bike once in awhile..

I was 8 years old when I had my first 2-wheels bike. I learned cycling indoors and it took me just a day to do so. I believe that I was very motivated to learn back then.
