Never got past the training wheels stage. I don't remember been taught past that stage either and I never made much of an effort myself.

I was 7. My mom said I might have learned earlier if they allowed me to try. I had poor motor skills, so they were working on improving that in me first.

I learnt when I was 6 years old something... first my parents bought me a bike with one training wheel and I was absolutely horrible- so they bought and installed another one. After that, things went smoothly and I am now sort of a champion seeing as I can balance myself with only one hand.

I was 8 and a half. It took a lot of practice and nearly three years for me to finally figure it out.

Believe it or not, I was fifteen. :oops: I rode a tricycle pretty well when I was little and my mom tried teaching me how to ride a bike when I was seven. She gave up after that. But then when I was fifteen, my grandpa taught me along with my seven-year-old cousins. In the meantime, I constantly had to come up with excuses to the neighborhood kids of why I'd rather walk than bike. Yeah, it was embarrassing. Also, I still can't ride a regular bike, but I've gotten really good at my mountain bike, which is what I learned on. Then again, I can't roller skate, but I can roller blade. How weird is that? So as the title says, what age did you learn to ride a bike?




i was four. i also cannot skate but can blade.they(friends,family,ect.) call me backwards.

From 13 to 16, lost interest after 16, I forgot how to ride a bike now.

Pretty much me.

I learned to tie my shoes at 13 or 14 but I still often prefer velcro for the feel. However, I do have the occasional pair of shoes that I have to get with laces.

Still never got off training wheels though.
