How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike without training wheels?

I was a late bloomer; in my 20s.

I think I was five. We had some tiny little bike with training wheels.

What training wheels?? I must have been 6ish when I learned to ride my new shiny mustard yellow banana seat Shwinn. She was a sweet ride. RIP

Level 3

I never had training wheels. My 1st actual bike ride was a push off of a hill accross the street and crashed into some junk at the neighbors yard. LOL!

7 or 8. I spent my entire childhood on my bike...

Level 9

I think 5 maybe 6. Didn't have training wheels. Taught myself using my older sisters bike. Could barely reach the pedals and had to prop it against the porch in order to get on.

Level 9

Never had training wheels. Kept falling down until I figured it out. Think I might have
been 9 by the time I quit crashing.
Kind of like life, but that took a few decades longer.

I'm not convinced I'm done just yet.

@Nottheonlyone It definitely takes a minute.

Level 8

I remember having trouble doing it, just kept falling over... then one day I was running and wanted to go faster and I jumped on my friends bike and took off... maybe I was 7? The thinking needed to be replaced with doing, I apply this principle in music. When I can’t remember the chord changes I play it fast so I won’t have time to think about it, actually works🙂

Muscle memory is great, isn't it? I do the same thing with music.

I remember riding back and forth in the basement learning to balance. I've been told I was about 3 years old.

Level 7

I never had training wheels. I think i was probably 5 or 6 and I remember my dad allegedly holding the bike upright as I rode along.

I promptly fell off when I realised he wasn't! I did get straight back on though.

About 8. I dived straight in and got it almost right away. Never had a bike before!

Level 5

I was 5. The bike came pre-equipped with training wheels. Iasked my father to remove them on my second ride. On the third one - I was without the wheels.

Level 5

I was 8, and my cousin showed me how too ride a bike. He said, all you need to do is to balance yourself on the bike. So I did that, and walla!

What's walla?

A general way of saying, I got it.
