| When I was first learning, for some reason I was practicing in like... a tennis court, with a fence all around. And my mind got left and right switched up, so when I tried to turn with the corner, I turned in to the corner and handlebars went in to my stomach.
All in all? Not pleasant.
I am still really uncomfortable with turning, especially around bushes, rocks... general corners xD Like, usually I use that time to cross the street, and then go up the next person's drive, in more of a diagonal.

| My dad taught me when I was six. Learning was easy for me.
I'm starting to think I was just really lucky.

| I'm beginning to hope that maybe everyone else really did have a difficult time learning, and it's just that the three people I knew who could ride bikes were lucky, too xD
I can't ride without hands though :c
I tried once.
I fell.
Hard.

| I can't ride without hands either. I fell off doing it once and now I never want to try doing it again.

| Haha. Yeah. That's pretty much the same way I'm treating it xD
Fell once (In a dirty, rocky back alley, no less) and I am not very keen on repeating the experience.

I don't live anywhere near places with alleys, but gravel driveways hurt too.
