At what age did you learn to ride a bicycle without training wheels?

I can't remember how old I was, but pretty young! My dad is a mechanical engineer and quite heavily into bikes and we were surrounded by different kinds - including a junior penny farthing! - from birth. We never had training wheels, just learnt how to ride properly by ourselves from the start.

In this photo, my brother is 5 or 6 years old and looking very comfortable on his Raleigh bike!

I was 30.
I had two little boys at the time, and my husband and I hired the bikes, and I taught myself in a couple of weeks.Then we all would go around the park, passing each other.
It was a lot of fun....Life was a lot more fun in those days :)

I don't recall but I'm sure I was in late primary school. My parents bought me a second hand bike. I remember it was blue with almost no paint but I thought it was the best thing ever. I'm in my 50's noo and to this day it remains the only bike I ever had.

I think I was around 15 but I was not big on bikes. Three years later I had my own car, and that was the end of bike riding.

no such thing as training wheels in my day, just learnt on the right size bike for my age.

I’m in my late 60’s now, & NEVER got on a bike
until Jan 1995, when a friend I was with on Lombok tried to teach me to bike ride. No luck there!That lesson only lasted 5 minutes!

Probably around age 9 when I was first given a bike.

probably around 5 or 6 but cannot really remember that far back.

I've never owned a bike because mum was a widow and there was never enough money to buy something like that. Training wheels weren't invented back then. With my grandchildren they learnt to ride on a balance bike, progressed to bikes suitable for their age group, with training wheels and by age 3 could ride without them.
