    my dad.
    I was on the bike and dad was holding the back carrier and said "son hold the handle and put your legs on pedal and start pedalling"
    I replied "no way.. I will not. U will let me go and I will fall, as U will let go the carrier"
    dad said " trust me son..I am your father"
    I replied " I will think & talk about it when I turn 40"
    thats the way I learnt.
    Love you DAD.

    Me. I was about 8. After my cousin had tried for ages to help (he was 6 years older) without success. I just took my bike from the shed one day, out onto the road and started riding (side road, and back in the 50s, little or no vehicles around). I remember I fell off 3 or 4 times, then got on and managed to stay on. Still remember going home and how proud I was to tell Mum & Dad I could ride my bike now !

    My dad did. He would hold and push my bike while I would pedal. When he believed I was confident enough and had enough balance, he'd let me go. Sometimes I'd fall and he'd help me up and remind me not to give up. Then one day he was cooking bbq and I wanted to try without him. I fell though, but he helped me up and I tried again. He held the bike in balance for me and when I turned around I realized he already let go. And I was riding by myself. I learned how to ride a bike without training wheels when I was 5 years old.

    My Dad taught me to ride my bike. I can remember it like it was yesterday. It was an old stingray bike an I kept pestering him to let me try it alone. He walked along side of me for a few yards and then pushed me off. What a feeling I had that first time. Amazing how little things like spending a brief moment with your Dad teaches you so many life lessons.
