View Full Version : Can you ride a bike?
Who taught you? If you can't learn, would you like to?

I can, but I don't ride them anymore since I crashed into cars on two separate occasions on a bike and my parents had to pay to get them fixed so I figured just to stop

No.
I don't have the balance or hand-eye coordination and blamed it on my dyspraxia any-time I was forced to try.

I can but I don't remember who taught me. I only just took up cycling again a few months ago after not having been on a bike since I was a kid, it's like riding a bike though

I can't, I just had no interest in learning before and it's too embarrassing to try to learn now.

Only a unicycle.
My dad taught me when I was a kid, maybe 7 or 8 years old. Then when I was about 12 my brother claimed my bike as his because he had outgrown his one :bored: dick.
Some friends and I were playing Never Have I Ever over bottles of wine one time but me and one of my friends were taking the piss, like everyone else would be asking all these sexual exploits type questions and then it'd be my turn and I'd be like "NEVER HAVE I EVER BEEN OUTSIDE" and my friend was doing the same, so then we were like "Never have I ever ridden a bike" and this boy I dislike intensely didn't drink and I genuinely just asked him if he'd never been taught and he started having a go at me as if I was responsible for the fact he had never learned and said all this stuff about how his parents never loved him when he was a child and how he doesn't even care that he can't ride a bike, and we were all sitting there like ................
LOL. Always felt a bit awkward assuming that everyone can do things like swim or ride bikes after that.

Does using stabilisers count as riding a bike, or is that classed as cheating?
Cheating :idc:
Nah :tongue: even doing it with stabilisers still takes a bit of skill

Apparently it's just like riding a bike, you never forget how once you learn.

Yeah...my dad taught me when I was about 4 I think. Me and my brother went everywhere on our bikes. I went over the handlebars a good few times...it's a wonder I wasn't seriously hurt. I also nearly lost my toes having a "backy" on the back if my friends bike with no shoes on and got my toes caught in the spokes. I still have scars.

Yeah, must have been around 2005 I first got into it, so I must have been around 11/12. It definitely helped when I was in Holland earlier this week. :p
