I can't ride a bike. The thought of falling freaks me out too much.

_plastic · 20-09-2009, 02:32 PM

Wow that somebody is really happy that somebody is going through the same.

Never learnt.

Behind the Smile · 20-09-2009, 02:53 PM

yer, I can't either.

I can't ride a bike either.

I can ..

they have special wheels to learn ..

they morely are training wheels..

but after a while they are taken off and the child has to push forward and pedal her/his legs away to fly like the wind

learning to ride a bike is hard...anyone who says its easy if full of them selfs..

when a chile uses training wheels they are use to them , being on there bike and they get highly nervous when they dont have to use them anymore

and i think the easiest way would to remove the pedals and use your feet to move forward..for awhile

we did this with my younger sister (12 now) and it worked..

in someway it helps you learn balance and such ..not sure why it helped.

but it seemed more easier..for her

I never learned to ride a bike either. Couldn't get beyond the whole stabilisers *thing* aged 7.

BunnythesAINT · 20-09-2009, 06:58 PM

I haven't been on a bike in years, so chances are I'd fall off.
Soooo...I guess me too?

you are really strange but you have the best stories ever.

The key to learning to ride a bike is to keep moving - dont wait to feel balanced first and then move - with the movement comes the ease of balance. That's why Einstein once said "Life is like riding a bike - you need to keep moving to keep your balance".

Rodolphus · 21-09-2009, 02:33 AM

Being able to ride a bike is only actually useful for one thing, and that is infact riding a bike. I can ride a bike, but haven't done now properly for like 4 years, and it's not impacted on my life at all xD

I know a few people who can't ride a bike :)

My friend admitted he did not know how to ride a bike whilst we was in college. So another friend and I taught him.
He then spent the next year at college riding a bike there and back saving him about £200 on bus fare since he was too old for a student bus pass.

Samzi · 21-09-2009, 08:26 AM

I know how to ride one in the sense of I rode bikes a lot as a kid.

I've not been on one in almost 7 years so it would be like learning all over if I tried.

Sharloid. · 21-09-2009, 11:07 AM

*Raises hand*.
I prefered my Barbie scooter with ribbons coming from the handle bars too much to learn to ride a bike! :P

linder surprise · 21-09-2009, 01:01 PM

i want to learn how to ride a bike.
i tried to learn last summer for like one afternoon but got too mad and then gave up.

OutOfTheWoods11 · 21-09-2009, 02:12 PM

I can.

But when I was a child I was terrified of riding without stabalisers.

One day we were in the park (me on my action man bike) and when we stopped for a rest, by mum got a random workman to remove the stabalisers. I was mega triggered and scared =p

Didn't learn to ride then but did a few months later
