Can we forget how to ride a bicycle?  |
|
 Do you think it is possible to forget how to ride a bicycle?
A few months ago, an old friend was telling me how she had wanted to ride her son's bicycle to go to a nearby grocery shop... but she couldnt - she had forgotten how to ride... she couldnt balance herself, and finally just gave up. Well... she did say she hadnt cycled for many, many years... since she had her first son, and i think her son is 17 years old now...
I hadnt thought much of it until recently...
you see.. i, too.. hadnt cycled since i got married - fifteen years ago.. and recently, while we were on holiday - my husband rented this two-seater bicycles, for the family to go cycling together. Suddenly i remembered my friend's story and I got scared - I wasnt sure if i still know how to ride the bicycle??
But guess what?? I could... I was surprised myself.
So.. what do you think... is it possible to forget how to ride the bicycle.. would you be willing to learn how to, again?

1.  youless (15293) | 3 years ago |  I don't think so. It seems as long as you learned how to ride a bicycle, you will keep this ability forever. Otherwise, perhaps actually you haven't learned it yet:)

| williamjisir (13154) | 3 months ago |  Hello youless. I agree with you on this point that it is hard to forget how to ride once we have learned how. Right now I am still riding my bike, but quite a few colleagues of mine say to me that I need to get a scooter. I have heard many of them say so to me, but I will wait for another year or so since my Forever Brand bike is still in good use. I love my bike because I think that I can exercise my legs, but if I use a scooter, there is no exercise at all as we don't need to use our legs to paddle it. Anyway, I will take it into consideration next year.

2.  thuynhu (565) | 3 years ago |  I personally don't believe you could really forget how to ride a bike. I know they use that figure of speech at times, but then again you never really know cause anything is possible. Things happen and some people may just forget but I would just save myself the trouble of every forget by just making sure I ride a bike every now and then. I mean it is also a good form of exercise, wouldn't you agree? But of course if it ever came down to it that I forgot somehow, I would most definitely be willing to learn again. I may look a little silly but I will get over it eventually.

| 6. prettyhanan (509) | 3 years ago |  Hello and Hi 4mymak.
I don't think we can forget how to ride a bicycle. My mom who didn't riding it for 26 years old still can riding last month. Maybe its depend on the person. But for me it is impossible to forget it after we were trough how hard to learn it. Correct me if I am wrong.
HAPPY LUCKY.

| 7. solson (343) | 3 years ago |  i dont know what happend to your friend but i think theres no way you can forget after learning how to do it. That infomation is stored somewhere in your brain and once you get on the bike your brain says i rember and it bring all that infomatation back to you.

| 8. eyewitness (1143) | 2 years ago |  Well someone once told me that when you learned to ride a bycicle you never forget it,just like swimming.
It could be possible that it's between the ears or that we're afraid to do ride a bike when we haven't done it for a long long time,but we won't forget to ride our bike.

| 9. artemis432 (2142) | 2 years ago |  I did, when I tried about 10-15 years ago and it took quite some time, and even after doing it for awhile my balance wasn't great - but then I'm a little dyspraxic - my motor skills aren't up to par.
