“I THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW HOW!”
For those who learned as kids, riding a bike seems completely second nature. In fact, many dismiss the idea that there’s anything to learn at all… “What’s there to learn? You just balance and pedal!”
I cringe when I hear comments like that! It makes those who never learned feel somehow ridiculous, and slams the door on the idea of learning as an adult. Or even worse, taking the comment to heart, they go find a bike and try to “just balance” – with predictably disappointing results.
