My daughter learned to tie her shoes, barely at age 7 but I'd say she didn't get good at it untill she was 9. The bike riding was slow but my husband finally got one of those bars you attach to the back of the seat to hold them up and she was riding in an hour. However, she was almost 10. Just one more thing that made her feel weird.

My NT son is 6 and doesn't know how to tie his shoes yet. He has never had shoes with laces. I don't find this skill to be particularly important right now.
