I try not to assume anything about when people started to ride bikes at this point. Assumptions can be deadly anyway but you get these kids who are adept tricyclists and you’d just be shocked. Especially if you’re the sort of person who rolls into these topics assuming that certain people don’t know how to do anything.

My mother point blank refused to let me have a bike,even though my brother had one, i begged for a bike and NO was the answer. My friend next door was going on holiday for 2 wks and i begged her to lend me her bike while she was away. OMG i never got off that bike the entire fortnight ~ what joy ! .... my mother still wouldn't let me have one, I got a typewriter that Christmas as she decided i should be a typist and best get started.
