I never got a chance to learn how to ride a bike. Maybe someday I'll have a courage to learn.

It's such a long time ago I can hardly remember, but I think I was about 6 or so. I started off with the 2 training wheels on either side, and when I got the hang of that my dad took them off. I guess I probably fell off a lot of times. I think my bike was blue and had just the one speed!

I was probably around five or six or so. I started off with training wheels like most small children, and was able to train myself to ride without them within a little less than a year, and after not long after that I started to teach myself various little tricks and things. Nothing too dangerous - just riding with no hands and riding while bending your legs into various controtions and that kind of thing I could never stand it when I saw the other kids doing something I couldn't do, so it really always motivated me to learn things... Before that I had a tricycle that I got for Christmas when I was three, and insisted on riding it in the freezing rain that very day (which I did!).
I haven't ridden a bike in years and years though. It's a lot more fun when you actually have someone to ride with, and none of my friends are into bike riding, so I don't do it that much anymore. I even sold my bike at a yard sale because it was too young for me and I never got an adult bike... I think once everyone in my neighborhood learned to drive, we were all more focused on that since there are very few places where I live that are walking distance. I get my exercise through the dancing that I do...

I don't know how old I was, although I remember everything else. Our garage door had fallen off and my father had my sibling's helping him fix it, as I was too young and would be in the way, I got my bike as rode around trying to pedal and I would a few times then lose my balance. I kept at it, by the time the door was fixed I was riding my bike.
