Who taught you how to ride a bike, and when?
I was about five years old when I inherited a bike from my cousin. It had training wheels and my Dad kept readjusting them. When I finally graduated to having both training wheels off, (they came off one at a time), Daddy walked beside me holding me up as I rode out the flat part our lonnnng lane. He kept talking and encouraging me. I noticed his voice getting farther and farther away. “I’m riding! I’m riding!” I shouted and then hit a mud puddle and lost control. But Daddy was there to pick me up.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

Oh totally love your place here, it’s so pretty
That’s a wonderful story about learning to ride your bike, had to laugh though when you hit the mud puddle 
Thanks so much for sharing xoxo Tynee
How sweet. I have no clue who taught me how to ride. Most likely I learned on my own. I do remember riding my tricycle down the basement cement steps … never fell off! I had great balance back then I guess.
ryc: Thanks for commenting. I must agree.
