Does anyone have issues riding a bike?

Post Reply New Topic

I have been riding two wheelers since I was 8 years old. Easy Peasy.

I've fallen off my bike so many times that I now refuse to ride one at all.

I can never keep balance on a bike because i am too clumsy.

I was never taught as a kid (my mother assumed I would figure it out on my own time), and learned about five years ago thanks to a very good friend that kept it secret so I wouldn't look like a fool. I'm fine now, but It took a while to build confidence and ride with traffic. It's better than walking. I failed miserably the last time I drove (anxiety attack during a traffic jam... not smart), so... I'm definetly not driving for a long time. Biking will do me fine.

EDIT: I'm a Raven instead of a Bluejay! I feel so special!

I didn't learn how to ride a bike until I was eleven.

I'm not dx'd and may not even have AS for all I know but I have never learned to ride a normal bicycle (I'm nearly 25 now) though I can ride an adult tricycle (which I think is at my grandpa's but I may take it back, if it's there, and clean it up again to use to get to the local library tomorrow or something since it's too hot to walk there).

It me along time to get the hang of it; much much longer than any of my siblings.

I can't write a bike. I can't keep my balance. I may for a few min, but then I just fall over.

I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 12 and half/13. Even now I can only really ride one on flat surfaces, the last time I went down a slope I fell. I have crap balance.

I have no problems riding bikes. I think it's easier than walking for me (I have less chances of tripping or making a misstep) .

I was given a bike when I was 6. I couldn't ride it w/o the training wheels until I turned 9. My older brother learned to ride by the time he was 6 or 7. I was given such a hard time by my family when I was learning; they told me I needed to get over my fears and learn, but every time I tried w/o the training wheels, I fell and hurt myself. Now, I'm in my twenties and riding my bike a lot. I don't have balance issues when riding, but I have issues stopping and starting.

I'm ok at it, I would definitely say practice helps I certainly wasn't very good at the start of the summer but I'm doing much better now that I've been out a few times.

I've honestly never learned how to ride a bike. When I was younger I was more interested in riding my scooter instead of riding a bike. Now that I am older I want to learn how to ride a bike but I'm not sure where I could learn or who could teach me since I am embarrassed about it. I asked my father to teach me but he never got back to me on it.

Had some trouble at first (seems like I had training wheels for quite a while, could be wrong). I can do it with ease now. I didn't like how the cable went out the night I learned.

I'm the youngest child in my family, so I had to learn young to keep up. I fell a lot at first, but I kept practicing when no one was looking and I learned fairly quickly. I even learned how to ride without using my hands, like the cool kids!

Me!

I have no sense of balance, and the only way I could ride a bike is if I was going fast. I did that once, but never ride a bike at 50mph if you don't know where the brakes are yet. I lost half my front tooth that day.

I'm 18, so I'd look odd with stabilisers (training wheels) on my bike
