Congrats. You've managed to overcome a old regret/fear and learned something that intimidated you before. That's pretty cool. Everyone should try to conquer their fears or at least manage them better.

Amazing! Congratulations! I love my bicicle, can´t wait till winter ends so I can ride it again. I live in the coldest mountain in Brazil and it is disgusting to ride in this weather.
For you guys this is probably a cool summer day, but to me winter is hell



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I am afraid that I forgot how to do this, it's been so Long since I last time so guess I need to check
Congrats and well done, this is a spot that I wish that I can keep up to, and l mean the real bike thing not those in our houses



i'm 27 and i still can't swim.



Really i think its upto parents to teach young kids like 3/5yrs old to ride a bike. But if for what ever reason you missed the boat, big well done for catching up. buy yourself a nice bike and go pop some wheelies

A great way to extend your life expectancy, feel much healthier and stronger plus save a lot of money and hopefully enjoy doing so. It can also reduce or even cure some mental conditions like depression by releasing endorphins. In some circumstances can actually be the fastest way of commuting too in areas with high traffic congestion. If your lucky you may live in an area where cycling is given a high priority. Cycling is so cheap to get into too with some cycles appearing on freecycle or similar or just having friends or family having one idle in the shed or garage that you can borrow.

Gaming is not the healthiest of hobbies so cycling is a great solution to gaining weight due to gaming. If you love eating then better to use that as fuel for your journey than paying for fuel for your car. You don't even have to do the whole journey by cycle. Many people use a folding bike to cycle from a free parking area to their work where there is high parking costs saving a large amount of money. Also if you regularly pay to go to a gym you have both the expense and time of that, cycling can save you that money and also not take any of your time if it simply replaces your commute time.

Lastly of course you are very much helping the environment with the average car producing 4.7 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, any reduction in that has to be a good thing.

Only yesterday just outside my house there was bicycle training going on with about 20 children of around 7-9 being taught by about 2 teachers presumably close to the end of training out on real roads. As a kid I had cycle training while at junior school. There used to be a park nearby that had a mini road network for training kids on cycles and the highway code. Scaled down roads with junctions, roundabouts and various normal markings on the road to give a safe environment to learn about using the roads. It may still be there.



I need to do this one of these coming summer days!



Once you learn how to ride a bike you don't forget. I took a 15 year gap between drinks.



 

 

After having ridden child bikes with sidewheels, that actually are very counterproductive to learn, it took me until I was 11-13, in the middle school, to really learn to ride a bike, and for years I used to ride a lot on dirt roads when I was on vacation in the countryside, the only things that stopped me a little were the absurd heat of Umbria in July and early August and that I was quite weak (later, when I was 16-17, after 11 years of swimming and corrective gymnastics for the scoliosis, I ended up becoming stronger and, alas, with a wolfish appetite, the curse of ex-swimmers ).

Let see what is going to happen but I don't expect developers to choose 60fps on multiplayer for scorpio while the base console stay at 30fps. I can see that on single player which is what the ps4 had tried to do on some games.

Edit: ops wrong thread.  this is what happen when you have more than one thread open at the same time
