Never learned how. Nor did I ever learn how to tie my shoes, I could never get the second step down. Funny how I can think up elaborate fantasy worlds with bizarre creatures but I can't even tie.

4 or 5. Balance is easy for me. I did it by myself. Setting myself up for the future of doing everything by "myself."

I think I was about 5. When I ws younger, doing stuff like that made me nervous, so it took me ages to learn.

Finally learnt at about 11, my older brother taught me and I was an extremely slow learner and I felt at times I would never learn and just about gave up. My brother was determined and he perseveered with me and I learnt everntually.

What-ever age it was that my dad taught me. I can't remember wanting to learn of my own volition.

That was awful of him to say that.

I was 11 when I learnt. I was teased by the kids from school something rotten.

It's difficult to say, because of my blurred memories, but I think we bought a bike after we had moved out of my grandparents' apartment into our own place (that was when I was eight). I think I was about 10 or 11 then, but it could've been earlier too. I've been able o ride since, but I'm not that good at it. That is, I've never had any of the more severe corrination trouble that some oher people have, but I'm not entirely comfortable when riding. I have to concentrate on keeping my balance all the time, and I can't ride too fast or downhill (definitely not both at the same time), and any more or less pronounced bump in the road may make me fall. Whenever I see bumps or pits approaching, or the road starting to slope downwrds, I begin to panic, hop off the bike and push it along while walking beside it, until I've passed the difficult stretch.

I'm 13 and still can't ride a bike, and never will. I gave up trying to learn when I was 8.
