i was seven years old when my dad bought me a bike..
it was my birthday gift.
back then,to me, it was the coolest thing a kid can have..
because all of the kids in my neighbourhood has one..

so after going back from school,, i ride my bike with all of these friends...
most of them boys,,


after all these years,, i havent lost my love for bikes..
i used to be a club member of a cycling club..
by the way i own a campagnolo bicycle..

I used to ride bike taken on rent from local cycle repair shops. First bike I owned when I was in the University. I gave it my friend when I left the University and went to join my first job in another city. After that it was only when I bought a bike for my son.

I gave your post + rating. Please rate my reply.

I think I was 8 or 9 and I was trying to ride my big sisters bike that was too tall for me. I kept falling over. When I was around 10 or 11 my Dad got me a used bike with a banana seat. OOh, I loved that bike, it was sooo cool.

Well, Why don't I learn to ride a bike. I am 26 and still I don't know how to ride a bike. You know I am from a middle class family and from a small town so I couldn't learn it at my school time.
Now, I don't think I should have answered to this forum but I couldn't stop myself from being doing it.
You know.. I think my kids will learn biking b4 me...He he he he

When i was 9 years old, my mother gave me a bicycle for my birthday and i learnt how to ride a bike at that time.
I did very bad job to learn it because this bike was too high for me and i was really short when i was a kid.
I got lots of scars in my ankle but now they are gone and at least i know how to ride a bike:P.

I was around the same age when my father bought me my first bike, yes it was a lot of fun on my bike my father used to hold the back until I got to understand how to ride my bike properly and not fall off. But I would not ride a bike any more I prefer to walk.

well I was like 6-7 when I first learned to ride a bike and I was so happy when my dad got it for me as a gift and he also taught me how to ride it.

Although now that I am older I prefer motor bikes but sometimes when I just feel like it there is nothing like riding a bicycle early in the morning.

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..

I was just five and a half when I first started riding bike. First I use to ride bike with the two support wheels on the bike and after the practice of few month I was able to ride it without any support. I was too happy and exited when I had first time ride th bike without any support.

I got my first bike at the age of four, several bicycles followed over the years as I grew up, but I never took the training wheels off until I was 11. How pathetic is that. I finally learned to ride without training wheels, but I took a bad spill at a public park (a really sensitive part of my anatomy came down really hard on the bike seat). From then on, bikes scared the sh*t out of me. An ex-boyfriend and my husband are bicycle fanatics. So is my oldest son. These days, I'm content to just watch - with my heart in my throat.
