Do you know how to ride a bicycle?

[Still-alive]

Yes

No

[MarkRet]

Yes, although it's been a while since I was on one. When I was a kid, no one would teach me, so I taught myself. My parents bought me a 2-wheeler, and I asked them, "How do I stay up without falling over?" They'd say, "Balance yourself." I asked, "Well, how do I do that?" They'd say, "You just... BALANCE yourself!" I thought, "Your not answering my question, and you're not helping me at all."

Eventually, I figured out the secret was in the front wheel. If you're falling to the right, you turn the wheel to the right to straighten up. When you fall to the left, you turn the wheel to the left. After a while, you get so good at it, that it looks like you're not doing anything. I had to figure that out by myself.

I learnt in my 1st standard. The current one is my 3rd one. I like to cycle on highways where I can go free with my speed.

My mom termed me a risky bicyclist as due to my really good sense of balance, I pulled out stunts in places least expected and that too dangerous to myself most of all.😅😅

But I like bicycling more than driving the two cars we have. Bicycling and walking are my preferred modes for anything close to 10 km.

[Smashingdoozy]

Yep, one of the first things my dad taught me. I was off my training wheels in a matter of weeks

[Cherry234]

Nope. One of my cousins said he'll teach me when I come over to see my relatives.

[Still-alive]

Definitely do. its a great feeling riding a bike

[bolverk]

Learned when I was around 10yo and did my Cycling Proficiency Test (The Cycling Proficiency Test was a test given by Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents which served as a minimum recommended standard for cycling on British roads. It was superseded by the National Standards for Cycle Training, branded Bikeability, in England in 2007), I still have triangular badge you received when you pass.

[alice55]

Yes, I like it though I don't have one anymore since middle school (stopped cause too much homework then my bike became too small and we were too broke to buy one so I haven't ride one since I"m 12).

[Aerissa_Jade]

Sure do and I know how to ride one without a helmet too, and a motorcycle and a unicycle, a skate board, roller blades, ice skates, I can use a pogo stick too.

[WhiteSteve]

I don’t think I’ve been on one since I got my driver’s license in high school, but I hear getting on one again after a long layoff is just like riding a bike. *rimshot*

[purplepoppy]

I had a bike as a child but I've haven't been on one for years. Question is does the adage "you never forget how to ride a bike" hold true

[Kayla45]

Yeah, I used to ride one everywhere before I got a car. The only real difference is you get less exercise in a car rather than a bicycle. :)

[menina]

Nope. Just like I don't know how to do other important things...

[qwert1234]

Yes.

I have lived a sedentary life for years now, when I tried, I can still ride one properly - except I easily get tired. lol

[katiesmuff]

I'm pretty sure I can remember how to ride a bike

[loves2learn]

Sure do. Didn’t ride one for 10 years. Didn’t matter. Still got it.

[Apulu_Imback]

Yes I am expert lol. I'm thinking to start riding cycle to school.

[douride2]

I haven't rode in a while unless a exercise bike is close enough. But yes I can ride a bicycle.

[Sparkie460]

Yes I know how to ride a bike. I used to go all over on it. I rode my bike to take my driver's permit test.

[RedThread]

I learned as a child. I assume I could pick it back up quickly if need be.

[Rockstarrrrr]

No.. nobody was there to teach me.. I'm okay

[NYCQuestions1976]

Yes, but I haven't been on a bicycle since I got my driver's license when I was 17.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, but my first bike had training wheels attached. 🤣

[AndrésC64]

Oh yeah. I spent a very large portion of my youth on a bicycle.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Competitively too.

[Still-alive]

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Thank you. :)
However, more from swimming. ;)

[Still-alive]

[burlen]
