Some people just don't get it. I have a Mother who has never been able to ride a bike. She was too poor to have a bike when she was young but she tried to learn when I was young - she was only about 23-24 years then. Then I tried to teach her when I was about 10 without any luck and even later on my husband tried to teach her when we were in college. After she was about 45 years old I just gave up on her. She ice skates and roller skates but has no confidence in her balance on a bicycle.

All I can say is practice-practice is what it takes. Once you learn, you never forget it.

Once when I was drunk I biked in to tree.
It was not fun, and a lot of people teased me for a long time.

When it comes to riding i bike i can't think of anything more unglamorous.

After a few years (10 ? 15 ? lol) without any "practice" I can't ride a bike anymore ... i'm sure if i try hard i could do it again but each time i tried it was dangerous. Roller stakes ok, skateboard ok but bike .... no ! isn't this strange ?

i cant ride a bike. i got my leg caught up in the chains on my brothers bike when i was little and it ripped my leg open. im scared of them now. but the last few summers my little sisters have tried to teach me but i just cant do it. i think its pathetic that i cant ride too.

plus the seats hurt.
