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?

At 8 as well, it wasn't the learning how that was an issue so much as the crashing and falling...

Somewhere around 8 I think, although I don't remember too well.

It's one of the few things I did actually pick up with relative ease.
