5. We lived on a dirt road with a gravel driveway, made it a lil harder we used to go to the park & to my grandparents' house to practice on the pavement.

Edit: you mean a 2 wheeler, right? Like no training wheels or anything.

14 or something. I don't really know how to ride one

I was 9. I was the last of my friends to learn because when I was 6-7 I was really sick and had a colostomy. Then my mom was really overprotective, but I finally convinced her to get me a bike. I learned at the same time my sister did (she was 6).

5. I remember it really well

I was 5yr on training wheels and 6.5yrs on 2-wheels. I remember because my neighbor said, "you can't go to the 2nd grade on training wheels!" and then she taught me a few weeks before school started. My mom & her were both recent divorcees and our she was also our sitter at the time.

I was 5! I learned on my sister's big girl bike

@SAHM0811: Are you by West Side Highway? I biked that a few years back when parts of it by WTC were under construction and I ran into a vertical steel beam at a turn area. My bike hit it dead-on, then fell over on its side with me on it. It was the last time I biked. =P We lived in a 5th floor walk-up and never had room for bikes, so I didn't learn until I bought a house and a bike.

I was probably 4 or 5 years old.

I was maybe 6 or 7 when I got off the training wheels. Most of my scars on my knees are from bad wipeouts on my bike (gravel road). But it was the best feeling ever to be fancy free on my bike and coasting down a hill. Those were the days...
