I never got a chance to learn how to ride a bike. Maybe someday I'll have a courage to learn.

Me, about 11. I feel good about it. Biking then, give me a sense of freedom to explore the world and it also help build my self esteem. Bikes are good for this age bracket. Just that, teens here are also prone to accident. Keep watch parents.

It's such a long time ago I can hardly remember, but I think I was about 6 or so. I started off with the 2 training wheels on either side, and when I got the hang of that my dad took them off. I guess I probably fell off a lot of times. I think my bike was blue and had just the one speed!

I was probably around five or six or so. I started off with training wheels like most small children, and was able to train myself to ride without them within a little less than a year, and after not long after that I started to teach myself various little tricks and things. Nothing too dangerous - just riding with no hands and riding while bending your legs into various controtions and that kind of thing I could never stand it when I saw the other kids doing something I couldn't do, so it really always motivated me to learn things... Before that I had a tricycle that I got for Christmas when I was three, and insisted on riding it in the freezing rain that very day (which I did!). I haven't ridden a bike in years and years though. It's a lot more fun when you actually have someone to ride with, and none of my friends are into bike riding, so I don't do it that much anymore. I even sold my bike at a yard sale because it was too young for me and I never got an adult bike... I think once everyone in my neighborhood learned to drive, we were all more focused on that since there are very few places where I live that are walking distance. I get my exercise through the dancing that I do...

I don't know how old I was, although I remember everything else. Our garage door had fallen off and my father had my sibling's helping him fix it, as I was too young and would be in the way, I got my bike as rode around trying to pedal and I would a few times then lose my balance. I kept at it, by the time the door was fixed I was riding my bike.

I was about 6 or 7 years old when I tried learning to ride a bike. I loved it too. But now can't ride it as no such luxurious time to do so. sigh..
