Do you know how to ride a bike without training wheels?

I admittedly never learned how to do it. I tried when I was five, but I kept falling down, and my extreme impatience for getting hurt kicked in and I stopped trying altogether. :(

How about you, OT?

i can't and i just turned 26. it comes from falling off my tricycle when i was 5 and cracking my head open

Yes indeedy. I like a good bicycle ride now and then.

I can.
I haven't really biked in over a year, but I'd assume I could still bike normally after a few seconds.

Everyone crashes. You shouldn't have stopped trying.

Yeah, it's the time of my life when I'm on a bike

Yes. I'm not 5 years old anymore. :lol:

Yes I do, I learned when I was around 7 years old.

Yeah I learnt when I was about 5 or 6

Yep. When I was six I spent the better part of a week, all day to nail it down. Well worth it in retrospect.

yea a do my dad taught me wen i was 6 or something :) spent have my days trying to learn

Yeah, and sometimes I take it off sweet jumps.

LOL. I learned to ride a bike at 13.

I feel speshul.

Yeah, just not as good as before. I used to be good at doing tricks ona bike... now I'm like a noob on it.

yes i know how, its not difficult

Sort of...

I can ride a bike, and fairly well too. 8)

Yes, I can even do neat tricks.

Yup. I still remember the day I learned, because it was such an epic moment. My older cousin who was a bully was riding his bike without training wheels, showing off to me as I was trying to learn, and I kept falling down. Soon though, he fell over and hurt himself, and ran into the house crying. I got on my bike (without the training wheels), and actually did it for the first time! It was an amazing feeling, kind of iconic looking back on it now.

yeah, i can even ride it with no handlebars.

yeah. i used to no how to ride a unicycle but i gained a lot of weight.

It was my main source of transportation when I was a kid.

Someone over the age of seven, without any physical disability, who can't ride a bike, is a foreign concept to me.

My dad tried to teach me when I was little. By teach me, I mean he would hold the seat and then push me off and somehow I was supposed to figure out how to balance in a few seconds or else I would fall. That method obviously didn't work so I eventually ended up just teaching myself.

1.Start with a bike that's too small for you.

2. Find a slight(very slight, just enough to get rolling) hill to start on.

3. Riding is all about momentum, so just sit down with your feet barely off the ground(ready to stop yourself), and coast down the hill, eventually begin to pedal and you should be able to figure it out from there.

Sure I can. I wanted to get rid of those training wheels, and it was exhilarating.

Admittedly I haven't ridden a bicycle in years: I moved onward and upward to a Harley, which is much more enjoyable.:P

I rode my bike so much that by six years old the training wheels on my bike had bent upwards by themselves and were no longer touching the ground, so it just came naturally lol.

Yes I do. Its one of those nice experiences I remember from my childhood.

Yes, i learned at like 5 but i didnt really get hurt while i was learning.... cause i learned on the grass

Edit: forgot to mention, i never used training wheels...ever
