Could I learn to ride a bike even if I'm 23?
Never too late to learn. Find a bike where you can get both feet flat on the floor. Don't get on it just yet. Walk round with it and learn how the brakes work and feel. if you can't stop smoothly and safely then you shouldn't be trying to start pedalling. Once you're comfortable with the brakes get on and with both feet comfortably on the floor start to scoot arouand. Continue to practice with the brakes and scoot with your feet over longer distances with your feet off the floor until eventually you get to the point where you can keep them up all day. Pedalling is sinply a consequential step of this. Keep your head up and look where you're going not at your front wheel. Most of all Enjoy. \U0001f600\U0001f44d\U0001f3fb
At what age did you learn to ride a bike?

Can I learn how to ride a bike at the age of 35 and become a good biker?
I am not going to answer this in a long essay.Just three words, my friend:“ Yes! You can.”My father was 48 when he started riding, and you wont believe that was 9 years ago. And today he can pretty much drive any bike he wants without ANY problem. No, he was not a professional rider back then… he was just a normal family guy who needed a bike for his daily commute to the school of which he was a principal.So, I always believe.. “ Anyone with two hands, two legs, two eyes and willpower, can drive a bike”.Thanks for tge A2A btw .. :)
How long does it take for you to learn how to ride a bike? I have a bike right now and I want to learn. Thank you?
This really varies on your desire to ride, patience, etc. 10 minutes is optimistic but can be done. I'd say in an hour. Below is from a previous answer I posted here on Quora.When learning to ride:1) Remove the pedals. Drop the seat down until you can put your feel flat on the ground.2) Find an empty parking lot, empty bike trail, not-very-busy street. One with a slight slope will help. Flat is OK.3) At the top of the slight slope, get on the bike. You'll have your feet on the ground. Practice grabbing your brakes (if hand-operated) or work on the motion to pedal backwards (if a coaster brake)4) Push off slightly, and "walk" or stride with your bike down the slope, or along the flat ground. You will be shaky at first but nothing to worry about. Your feet will keep you up.6) At first, just work on going straight. Practice with your brakes, very gently at first. 5) Keep striding/walking with your bike until you feel comfortable keeping your legs up off the ground for long periods at a time.6) Then practice turning. You will discover once you get up to a certain speed, you will lean more and "steer" less.7) Once you have found your balance going straight and turning, then put the pedals on. Raise the seat a small amount (so you can still touch the ground with your feet but not feel too crunched up with your feet on the pedals).8) Push off, find your balance, and then pedal. As before, work on going straight first. Once that is under control, work on turning. Most turns you'll "coast" (not pedal) through.You're riding a bike. Congrats!When you get good and gain confidence, raise your saddle more to allow a more efficient, less "cramped" position on the bike.
How did you learn to ride a bicycle?
Haha, that's actually a funny story. I’m the youngest of five brothers and brothers usually are mean to each other, since i was the youngest i was the one getting tortured the most. When i was about six my ingenious brothers came up with an idea on how they would teach me to ride a bike. There was a very very steep hill close to our house so they got me on my bike without a helmet or anything to protect me. Despite being very afraid and not wanting to have to learn in this dangerous manner, eventually they talked me into it and we started. They would let go of my bike on top of the hill and i would just find myself going really fast and quickly lose control and fall. One by one i started doing better and by the end of the day i had learned to ride a bike along with scratches and bruises. It's a very funny story, one of the best memories of my brothers.
Growing up is like learning to ride a bike. How?
first you have your training wheels (your parents) then you get a bit more experienced and you take off on your own (departure from parents) at this point your riding free and the bike can take you to endless places. I guess something of that sort..i didn't really elaborate...but... yeah.. Though i do disagree at the point with a bike once you learn you never forget.. whereas life isn't that simple. good analogy just came to me...how about "sometimes we crash" (downfalls) or sometimes we ride in full throttle (positive times)
How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike?
I learned at 5 years old... I would say making it to 13 would be truly embarrassing to not know how to right a bike.
Laugh if you want: I never learned how to ride a bike...?
Funny how some peolpe think they'll be laughed at if they havent learned a particular skill when they're at their twenties... Well here's my answer: Buy a helmet and an inexpensive hardtail mountain bike. Have the dealer remove the cranks, pedals and chain. Lower the saddle until you can easily push the bike with your feet (but not too low, you'll want to have a portion of your weight on the saddle at all times). To balance a bicycle, you'll need to get it going at a fast walking speed so its self-correcting geometry can become activated. The only trick you need to know is to steer the front wheel in the direction that the bicycle leans. This will bring it upright again. Paddle around a large enpty parking lot (Churches are usually empty during the week) and, without worrying about going any particular direction, if the bike leans left, steer left until you are balanced. When it leans right, steer right. Once you can paddle and coast with a degree of security, have your bike shop put the drivetrain back on. When you start pedaling, you will already have the basics down, so you'll be circling with ease--but stay in the parkling lot until you have mastered the brakes, and have at least a notion of how to shift. This answer was chosen as Best Answer a few months back.:-)
I am 31, and don't know how to ride a motorbike. How do I learn bike, repair and riding if I don't know anyone with a bike to spare?
I am also 31 and from India and I did not know how to ride a scooter, leave aside a bike till two years ago. You won't believe but I approached car driving institutes to teach me how to ride a two wheeler and they refused.I had to go through really tough rides in autos (shared) to make it to the office everyday. Then my wife encouraged me to buy a scooter and start to practice near home. I did not have anyone to lend me a vehicle to try, so I went ahead and bought a scooter for myself. It took me two weeks of practice near my home to feel confident and then I went ahead and got a learner license. Rest was history.I am sure you can give it a try if you really want to! No point in feeling old at 31 when you can still overcome a serious mental block! Trust me; overcoming this has been a big confidence booster. Yes, you may feel you don't need confidence boosters at 31, but it is different.
