I'm 41 and damn it, I'm gonna learn how to ride a bike!
Ok....for anyone who I have made fun of on this forum in the past 10 years, here is your chance to get me back. Flame away!!!
I'm 41 and I never learned how to ride a bicycle. It wasn't because I didn't have the opportunity. I grew up in a gated golf course community, on a cul de sac, a 2 acre yard, and had 2 different bikes. I had everything you could want to learn how, its all my fault for being stubborn. I hated not being able to do it on the first four tries, so I acted like a spoiled brat and gave up. My poor father. I had go karts and golf carts, so I just blew off learning. I really was a POS as a kid.
Now I regret it. It was embarrassing growing up not knowing how. But that still wasn't motivation enough. Its still hard to talk about it, I don't ever tell anyone. I'll be surprised if I post this.
My 7 year old is a great bike rider, so is his mother. Its time for me to learn. It looks like fun and it is something I would like to do with my son.
In-between the taunts and the mockery, if anyone has learned as an adult or has taught an adult, and has some tips, that would be great!
I almost feel better already!
