I am curious to hear how everyone learned how to ride a bike? Did you guys fall down alot or did you ride perfectly? My experience was one that will always be memorable. It is the classic, "I won't let go until you tell me you are ready." Knowing that I am riding pretty well with my grandfather holding on to the back-end, he let go and as soon as he did I fell on the grass. How was your first experiences?

I still remember when I was six,I saw one of my little friend practising riding a little bike in the backyard.I was very interested in that and asked her to let me try.She agreed,then I had my way forth.Just in a few minutes,I was happy to know that I could handle it!

I learn it with my cousins. I just watched he ride the bike, how he start and control it. It's quite smooth for me to ride for the first time. In that same day, I even racing with him. I guess I am good at balancing my body. Well, have a nice day!

I had a very similar experience.We went to the park and my Dad was holding it and repeating:"I'm here,keep going,I won't let you fall".Suddenly I realized he wasn't holding it anymore and I was riding my bike alone!I stopped.And then I tried again - it was OK.I was so happy!I never thought it could be as simple as it was.
