Never learned to ride a bike?
Thread started by KVNY at 08.11.09 - 2:55 pm

So in the past couple weeks i've met 2 grown ppl who never learned to ride a bike... so strange to me. like ppl who never learned to swim.

How old were you when you learned to ride?

reply


6 years old, with training wheels.
However, I still can't really swim worth half an ass either.

They fell off two weeks later due to shitty bolting and it was actually the nine year old girl next door that taught me.

She now lives up in Roseburg, OR with 3 kids of her own:{

I learned how to roller skate and eventually rollerblading and ice skating soon after walking. Swimming on the other hand I learned in about 9th grade, and even later, cycling I didn't learn until about Junior year in high school. Both swimming and cycling were self taught. And then finally driving I learned at 22.

Yeah... I would feel pretty robbed of a childhood if I never learned to ride or swim.
I started riding a bike when I was probably 5. My brother John (would have been 11) held my seat and let go when I had it. I was so thrilled that I made it to the end of our court before falling over... that I wasn't even mad at him for breaking his promise not to let go.

Although I spend childhood without a bike, that didn't stop me from getting around. I skated all over the place, probably more miles than most kids would ride their bikes.

I can't say how young I was but I was pretty small when I learned to bike and skate. I also learned to do both the day my parents tried to teach me =D

I wish I was that fast with swimming. I remember being in the 3rd grade, 8 years old, when I finally nailed swimming. I had been on and off floaties for years.

I have no idea how old I was. Maybe 5 or 6? I remember a red tricycle, then I got a big kid bike. Never had training wheels. My dad just held onto the back of the seat, when I was down the block I looked back and my old man wasn't there. Took me 3 minutes to learn, I've been hooked since.

why not have a ride for people who don't know how to ride bikes.

We were fortunate to have parents who bought us bikes. Or to have mentors who taught us how to ride a bike.

Some people weren't so privileged. That doesn't mean they still can't learn...and join us!

learned when i was 3. i had a black rallye (not raleigh) with white tires. training wheels came off quick, too.
my mom had state records for swimming in the 70s and taught me how to swim before i could walk. i was decent competitive swimmer, but nowhere near as good or fast as her.

It IS kinda weird, but a lotta people don't know how to ride a bike or swim. I know I can't swim for shit, haha. I didn't learn how to ride a bike till I was like 10ish or so. My mom didn't let me own a bike cuz when my brother was little, he was riding his bike and he got hit by a bus in the Philippines, LOL. After that, she didn't buy him a bike and then didn't buy me a bike when I was little also.

Ew competitive swimming. I did that for like 1/10 of a season in middle school. I love to swim I hate to train for it.

hah ditto. I pretty much swam out of the womb... and my mom would have to drag me out of our pool every summer day just to eat. I swam competitively for literally one swim meet. I won first place in back-crawl.. then never raced again.

i learned when i was 4 because my father is a hardcore biker. he also took me to my first ride (alphabet soup!) when i moved back to LA from Portland last summer. my mom was a swimmer and music teacher so she taught me swimming and piano as soon as i could walk, didnt keep up with the music much past 10th grade.

13. I was afraid of it before. But I got tired of not being able to go anywhere with my friends, so I just started pedaling and was surprised that I didn't fall off.

I didn't start riding decent bikes until about late spring 2006. Before that it was mostly department store clunkers.

I think I was somewhere around 5 or 6. I fell and hit my dad's parked car and smashed my head into the concrete. I was traumatized and didn't attempt riding a bike for another 6 or so years. My bike got stolen, and after that I didn't ride decent bikes until a few years later. Thank you MR.

Well, at least I'm not alone when it comes to the non-swimmers here.
Living in a desert for most of my life and being far away from good swimming holes didn't really help the situation all that much either.

Funny thing is the fact that I never really taught my younger brother shit and he started lake-swimming(Silverwood Lake) at 14.

My mom never learned to swim, and neither did my housemate.. but that asides, I have a friend that never learned to ride, and one that learned when she was about 17 so she's a bit wobbly. The former friend really loved riding my tricycle though, and she ended up buying one of her own. Problem sorta solved. :P

Six or seven. My dad taught me by holding the back of the seat. A few hours later I was doing it solo and smashed my face on the concrete and lost a baby toof that was about to fall out anyways...

I learned to dive before I learned to swim...
