I can, in fact, I used to ride my bike all the time since i was a kid and until i was like 23 or so. I haven't in the last years though, because I don't have a bike right now. But I am planning to get one soon and go out for some good rides now and then.
It is curious because i had always taken for granted that everyone knows how to ride a bike, but then i found out that many people around me actually cannot ride a bike, including my mom.
Do you like riding a bike? Can you do it, or you never learned?

Yes I can. I learned when I was 5 or so. I wasnt so greacefull in the begining. I would always fall off and hurt my face. LOL. Yes face first into the black top. Almost had to have stitches in my lip one time. I remember one time I got a brand new bike for my birthday. I went around the block really well and came back twards the house. Well I couldnt find the break and hit the back of my dads truck *SMACK* in the face! LOL. Man I was a clumsy child. Im surprised I dont have brain damage! I have taight my son whos 5 to ride a bike. He can now ride without training wheels. I am going to get the 3 year old a bike this summer and teach him. They have fun riding bikes.

It's great as an exercise, one of the healthiest of all if done at a moderate speed. thanks for replying.

Well I know how to ride a bike. I really dont like riding bikes because its really uncomfortible for me to ride a bike. I havent ridden one for several years. Its just the seats are to small for my big butt lol which makes it uncomfortible for me to ride plus there not soft you have to buy a jell seat to make it comfortible to ride a bike. But for now I just ride my stationary bike at home and at the gym for exercise.

I would love to learn to ride a cool big motorcycle, but they are dangerous, because you must be careful yourself and others (who you can't control) too, so i find it a bit risky. Anyway I would love to.

Yes, I love to ride in the summer! However, my skills are shaky as i only ride a few weeks a year.... Plus, I started riding later than most (fear of bycicles lol) and in the end my parents had to push me down hills on my bike in order to teach me!
So, now I can ride, but I'm not 100% confident... I wish I did ride more often!

I used to love going out for long cycle rides but haven't been able to in a few years now! Both my kids and my partner really enjoy cycling too but I always make sure they wear a cycle helmet - I hope you plan to buy a helmet with your bike Lightnin darlin and that you always use it! xxx

I used to ride a bike all the time when I was young. When I was about 25 I moved and some how my bike got lost in the move. I never replaced it. The only bike I've been on lately is an exercise bike. I ought to buy a new bike. As my grandchildren get older I could go out and ride bikes with them. My three year old granddaughter got her first bike for Christmas last year.

Hi,there! I can ride a bicycle.I rode that since I was very young.At that time,I used to ride my bicycle to school. I like riding a bicycle especially when I ride it at a high speed on a wide road.The feeling is so cool and comfortable:) I also think it's a good way to exercise ourselves. I learned it when I was young and I do think it's not hard to learn. But I've also got some friends who can't ride a bicycle. They've never learnt it before and they're afraid to ride them in a crowded street. Thanks for the discussion! Good day^_^

I learned to ride a bycicle when I was 10 years old.
Now I'm still riding it and people around me all have a bycicle because our classroom is so far from the dorm...

I used to ride a bike when i was 13 or 14 years old. it is really fun to ride a bicycle. i can feel the wind blowing my face. it really felt good. since i live in a subdivision, then i can bike anytime i want without my parent worrying about my whereabouts. even if it is a hot season, i would still go out of our house and ride my bicycle around the subdivision. but it stop when i got into accident. its not a big accident. i guess i was stupid at that time. riding a bike with a tight jogging pants. then, i hit a post because of my tight jogging pants. it then leave me a big scar above my knees.

I am thinking of getting a bike so I can ride to school everyday but the country I live in doesn't encourage biking.

Oh, well, actually i ride bike everyday, the place i work is a little far from where i live, but there are no buses to be there, so i have to ride a bike, and it is very tired to ride it, but i think it is good, because i have no time to do sports, so riding bike everyday has become my sport and i will try to enjoy it.

Yep, I sure can ride a bicycle Lightnin. I clearly remember when I had learn how to ride it. I was about eight years old, and together with my sister, my cousin and some friends, we were learning how to ride the bike. I usually fell and get bruises from riding it. I can remember my cousin and I were riding one bicycle and we fell, I was underneath of the bike, and my cousin. Whew! Something from the pedal pierced my foot and I got sick from that. I still have the scar from it. Anyway, it was all part of learning. I still know how to ride the bicycle and it's fun.

Yes I can, actually I just learned biking 2 yrs past and I was truly find it very hard to learn it myself without anybody's assistance. I remember I used to ride a bike since I was still a kid but then when I grew up I wasn't into bike that much and that is how I forgot everything about biking and was scared to try it again...but then again finally, I get that habit back and now I'm proud to say that I can really bike. :-)

Yes I can ride a bike. I got my first two wheeler when I was 6 with training wheels. I could not ride without wheels. I had a very hard time so I put the bike away for a year. Then I took it out to try again and I could do it.

I can ride bicycle and I can't ride bicycle...
How can say I can and can't at the same time?
Because I only know how to cycle in a straight line!XD
ask me to turn right or left on a bicycle will make me fell down from it only..
Lol..
I do not know how can this happen but I really just can ride on a straight way!!
