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.

I can't remember not being able to ride a bike. I spent hours and hours on it when I was a kid, gone for the whole summer holidays.

I have no memory of learning to ride a bike either so I must have been young

I managed to get to work but it's pretty wild and wet though now, I will have to venture out again at lunchtime to collect my son from uni and bring him to the gym, the things we do....

I don't remember learning or not riding a bike, I was the younger sibling so always wanted to do what my big brother was doing and my Dad was keen for us to do outdoorsy sporty things from very young- all the kids had bikes and you'd know where everyone was just by the piled of dumped bikes in front of someone's house.

Well, my daughter is 23 and I got just under a year of her having her full licence before she moved out so that plan worked out well for me

Anyone here ever ridden on those cyclist-only zones in Holland? I did years ago and experienced straight-up how much the U.K. was missing when it comes to things like that (we’re a backward island in many ways so).

Yeah but nothing on the scale of t’Netherlands, where the road-infrastructure’s partly designed to accommodate for bike-riders (because so many people out there are cyclists). Not like here where cyclists who don’t stick to the woods can be a nuisance for drivers. Especially learner-drivers.
