How old were you when you learnt to ride a bicycle?

My mom got me this junky bike when I was about 5 and I had the hardest time with it and I didn't do it cause I was always afraid of tipping over. When I got to be about 11 my uncle got a few bikes he was going to resell and one was a "bananna seat" and I just got on it and I was riding that day without training wheels. It's been a real long time since I've ridden.

Hi Pratik! This discussion made me sad. Bicycling is the only thing I tried and tried and tried and I couldn't learn till now in my life....now I am 26 years old.I do a lot of other sports, I know swimming.... no bicycle. Two weeks ago also my husband was tring to teach me atleas he got tired. I couldn't balance. It is very very sad.

I started learning to ride bike when I was eight, but I only could ride it well two years later.

I was about 7 years old, when I learned how to ride a bicycle. I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure that I was 7. I have a few memories of learning how to ride a bike.

hello,that's a funny topic, i am gald to know that i just need a few mins to learn bu bicicle,but i am frightened to by bike,when i was 12

I think I was 10 or 11 years old when I really learned to ride a bicycle. It was a great fun then.

i was about 8 or 9 when i learned to ride a bike. i am an only child and it was a good thing to keep be busy back when i was a kid. i used to zip all over the place. i still remember my blue bike. my youngest daughter learned last year (she was 11). her daddy tried to teach her the year before but she seemed like she just wasnt interested. she just did it on her own.

I start bicycle in age 08 in school. I hire the bicycle from shop and run a hour daily in vaccations. Then I learnt Scooter at the time of my school at Age 15. At that time i got Accident my scooter to Autorickshaw, then i drop the few years to run bicycle. Then i start again to run Motorcycle at College time at Age 18. I start to run confidently and as per rules and regulations of road. Now i am expert to run any bike or motorcycle.

I was 20 years old when i've learned to ride a bicycle, funny but true.. i've had a bad experience when i was a kid that's why.. i was hit by a bike and the worse was when my toe was stucked inside the wheel.. it was bleeding terribly that's why my mom decided to rush me to the emergency room.. good thing, the x-ray examination was okay.. i didn't break a bone..

I learned how to ride a bike between the age of 8 and 9. I really wanted to learn how to ride a bike and i envy those playmates of mine who knows how to use a bicycle so i practiced alot. I even fell while im on it.

I think i was ten years old that time. I was still in elementary school. My mother and my brother guided me to learnt how to ride a bicycle. I had to fall down on the ground few times and hitted everything ahead before i was good on riding it.lol. Fortunately, it only took about two months to handle it.

i think i've learned to ride a bike when i was about 7 or 8. it was my cousin's bike and up to now, i love riding a bike in fact i do have one and it's very fun riding your own bike. i used it whenever i will go to the market. i don't need to ride a jeep and at the same time, i can save money. haha!!:)

lol, i think it's an acceptable age to learn how to ride a bike. I mean it's just riding a bike, nothing important, so you don't have to be embarassed for not knowing how to at an older age. I learnt how to ride a bike at age 12 and that is also done by practicing everyday on the bike my dad brought home from somewhere where it's right brake wasn't working ^_^ lol

I was 11 years old when I learnt to ride the Bicycle.

I was 16 and like you I never needed to know how to ride a bike before then so I never bothered to learn. But I got a job as a delivery boy and needed to ride a bike to do the job, so I learned!

I start Cycling on 1995 on that time i am 12 years OLD, I also do Stunts with Cycle

I learned when I was around 9 or 10 years old. I had a mean sister, she told me that she would help me learn, she helped alright, when I got on the bike everything was alright for a while. Then my sister pushed me out in the road and told me that I better peddle.

I learnt to ride when I was six. It was my father that taught me, without the training wheels (never try those...) After a couple of painful 'accident', I managed to ride. I don't remember the last time I ride a bicycle. With work piling up and more things to do, I don't even have time touch a bicycle. Must be fun to ride one now.

I was 10 years old when i learned to ride a bicycle. My cousin scolded me like anything for not learning bicycle. I was riding for two days under her support and suddenly on the third day , she left me and i started riding on my own. Now, i had the problem of turning. I can go straight in a bicycle and cannot turn , as i used to fall while turning. Then , after a week , i started turning and i had learned the art of cycling.
