We pulled out the bikes yesterday and spring is in the air. We pumped tires and lubed the chains. I am trying to teach Colton to ride a two wheeler. Can you ride a bike? When did you learn?

I learned how to ride a bike when I was 5 or 6. I have not ridden a bike in probably 10 years though. My 8 year old does not know how to ride a bike yet. He does not really have anywhere flat to learn, so unless he can learn to ride a bike in the grass or on a gravel driveway I don't see him getting a bike in the near future.

It is hard here cause the only place is the road and that is pretty bumpy. Luckily there isn't much traffic in the sticks here and I am always with them Thanks

I haven't ridden a bike in years. When I started losing my balance on them, I quit riding them. I first learned how to ride a bike when I was 7 years old. I got a pink Huffy for my birthday. With a banana seat. And a white basket. It was so neat. It probably took me a week to learn how to ride it.

It has been many years since I learned to ride a bike. It has also been many years since I rode one. The last time I rode a bike my legs felt like Jello. I don't think that you ever forget how to ride a bike. I could not ride a bike today because My legs aren't any good. I wish I could ride a bike again.

I learned to ride a bike with only two wheels (no tricycle) at the age of four. I loved it so much, it had streamers on the handles, just like little girls seem to love. I don't have a bike any more, and I wouldn't have room for it now anyway. I live in an apartment. We don't have bike racks by my complex, and it wouldn't matter. Someone would find a way to steal it anyway.

My first son learned at four but my daughter was 6 and my youngest is now six. I am afraid that someone will take the bikes cause my daughters bike was stolen last year and I had to buy another one.

I can ride a bike, although it's been years since I've actually done it. I remember my very first two wheeler - it was dark red with a flag and basket. I can't remeber when I actually learned. My daughter learned when she was 6. My son is 10 and still can't ride. He is austic and doesn't have very good coordination. He would rather ride his scooter, although we try to get him to try his bike.

I learned when I was very young- I don't even remember learning that is how long ago it was. (Of course, lately I can hardly remember what I did two days ago...) Anyway, I don't know if I still could or not...they say you never forget but my mom got on her bike a couple of years ago- first time in many many years- and ran right into a tree!! ROFL!!!

LOL Hope she was okay. I want to get a new bike for me once my youngest is two wheeling on his own. Then we can all do it together. Thanks

I love riding bikes! I still do it all the time just by myself or go to the park along the trail and bring my dog. I first learned when I was 6 after a lot of bruises and blood lol. It was so difficult for me lol, probably for everyone but my dad managed to teach me in a matter of a couple days.
