My dad bought me my first bike (Pink and purple with streamers and training wheels) When I was 8 or so. Went well until he took off the training wheels, in which case I cruised straight into the truck, lmao.
My mom taught me, but it took a long time so she put training wheels on. And that's how I really learned. My bike was red with streamers coming out of the handlebars, and a bell. And I loved that bike!
