- More Americans are cycling than ever before. The number of people biking to work has gone up more than 60 percent in the past decade. But that is not an option for some adults. Mireya Villarreal shows us one class in New York City aimed at helping adults learn how to ride.
That's so cute! I'm 22 and I still don't know how to ride a bike because I always lived in a small apartment but I'm planning to buy a bike now, this is very encouraging
Solar Flare me too
what happen!! i am 19 still dont know to ride bike
I only looked this up because I thought it would be like .1% of adults that can’t ride a bike, but there is much more than I would’ve ever thought. You commented this two years ago and I have to ask did you ever learn to ride a bike?
@@kadenmonfredi6611 man i was getting ready to ask my self till i seen they still haven't responded to your question!😆
33 and just started pedaling. It takes time, practice and patience but with persistence anyone can do it. I started off just trying to balance and once i worked on my balance, I tried to start pedaling, failed and just came back to it. The more you practice, the better you become. Just don't give up!
I learned at 35 years old, thanks to Bike New York, they are awesome
You mean there is hope for me😁
I’m a bike lover and everyone should love them, it’s a great feeling of riding one. Once you learn you never forget
This made me cry gosh damn... onions riding bikes. You go Armoni
I'm that 13% that can't ride 😂😂
GeneralN0va same here
Hope you've given it a go since posting this! It's never too late to learn!
Me too 🤤

Oh, wow! That lady learned. I am so pleased for her. 😚
I did it ! I am 39 years old, and today is the first time I rode a bike.
Awesome
Congratulations 😁
Wow. Congratulations friend. Wish me luck as I bought one myself so I can force myself on how to ride.lol
@@boybumbatso1582 Good luck buddy (Y)
3:29 that got deppressing quickly
I need to relearn how 😂😂😂. My neighbor taught me when I was 12 I’m 29 now
I started bicycling when I was five or six years old (nope, not living in the Netherlands). I hope more countries will follow thru the biking culture of the Netherlands. I think bicycling is a move forward not backward as a means of transportation its nature friendly and good for the health.
Today was my 3 times learning too and It was awesome. Can't really get enough ❤
Living in The Netherlands, I grew up with the bicycle, My dad learned me at the age of 3 how to ride a bike, first with extra side wheel, to prevent you from tipping over, and once you get your balance right, he removed the side wheels.
So the best way to learn it, is to come to the Netherlands.
Tears came out of my face at 3:29.
Same….either that or my allergies are acting up
I am crying with her. Its a moving experience (pun intended) and freedom to travel this way is the reward. Imagine if we could learn to fly....
If the only reason you don't know how to ride a bike is because of people laughing at you.. stop caring about what other people think! They are sooo irrelevant to your happiness and sense of accomplishment in life. This applies to any skill, not just bike riding. Do it for yourself and stop worrying about everyone else!
I've been putting off going to a bike shop to buy one because I know I'll have to test ride it and show how scared and unskilled I am, this helped :) thanks!
Nice lady teacher... nice lady learner. My heart goes out to both of them.
Now am encouraged I will try in my street with my son .I can do this I know how many adult's now like me let me do this.🙏😁
I learned how to ride a bike at 14
... but I am now trying to learn with an electric bike for the first time at age 34... I was terrified going down hill the first time 😱
I've learned to ride a bike at 5 or 6 years old. It was an adult bike. But only after 30 I've learned how to ride a bike not using hands. It was not too simple.
What wonderful adults. I am so proud of them. My now teen age daughter doesn't ride but she will be soon.
I learned to ride a bike at age four and learn to tie my shoe strings at age 3. We dropped the ball
on our first little girl. I dont'really know why.
i’m relearning after a stroke . my left side is the most damaged. can’t use my left hand but the leg is OK. i can walk. i can ride a tricycle but I want a two wheeler back in my life because it would increase my mobility range. when used in conjunction with Public transport. my tricycleus electric pedal assist. but i need to relearn balance. it’s relatively easy to configure a bike for one handed operation. but you do have to be careful of obstacles that will try and wrench control of your front wheel. wearing a helmet is mandatory. especially after a woman who had been stopped st an intersection decidedto merge into traffic right in front of me. seoerated shoulder, cuts and bruises but lesson learned.good lights and helmet are now top priorities. As bu y levi’s my mode of transportation the cost if the bicycle safety and comfort is a fraction of car ownership
Best of luck in relearning!
They learned in one session? I'm 32, I've tried multiple times in my life. The last time in my mid-20s I took a week off of work and practiced for 7 hours every day for a week and made absolutely no progress. I think I may have balance issues, though I have no problem walking and I do okay with weight training in the gym. The woman who cried was very sweet.
QuantumBraced go down a big hill. That ought a teach ya. No but really the way a bike works is the faster the wheels spin the stabler the bike. So I know it can be intimidating but if you go faster you don’t have to worry about balance as much.
Also if the bike your riding is too small that can make it harder.
Not sure if you kept at it after you wrote your comment. If you didn't pls don't give up. I learnt how to ride in october of last year at the age of 41.
I can not get enough of it, especially after getting a reconditioned bike in december, i keep getting better at it and my confidence is on another level.
Pls stay encouraged and keep trying. You will get it in the end. All the best 👍
Try scooting first, take your sweet time on it and don't rush it
I hope that you can provide an update. Ive learned in the past and must keep relearning. DON'T give up.
I'm already 33 yrs old and I also don't know how to ride a bike. Now I ordered the 20 inch and will self learn how to cycle.. It's becoming essential these days since public transport is not yet safe for now.
I learned as a child, so I don't fully understand what these people are going through. Having said that, I congratulate them on having the courage to try. Riding a bike is an awesome experience. There is really nothing else like it. I'm 65 now, and still riding!
I learn when I was 7 25 years ago
I still can't ride a bike, I won't tell my age but I'm older than this lady, I made sure my kids learned because I never learned from fear of hurting myself, but, would love to learn but don't know where to go.
Try finding bicycle classes. Or try to find who can teach you (essentially anyone who already rides a bike without any issues). Don't worry that much. Bicycles seem scary and prone to falls and such, but if you get the hang of it, you'll learn in no time. I have been personally riding for only half a year and I had maybe like 2-3 falls. Just make sure you don't try to ride too fast.
Register with a bike school
Do i need to push the handgrip to get more balance?
My mom and dad learn to ride a bike when they were young so today they are teaching me how to ride a bike lol
I learned at 37 but glad that your classes there are free, here we have to pay.
Oh wow! I'm interested to learn to ride a bike too.
I'm 27 and can't ride a bike let alone drive
I didn't learn to drive until age 27 and that was in 2003. I didn't learn how to ride a bike until a month ago and I'm 45 now. It's not impossible. You got to at least start somewhere. You need the independence of driving a car or even riding a bike.
Once you lean how to ride a bike.
Riding a bike will become second nature.
And EXTREMELY fun and relaxing.
Wow so many can learn within one day
i started riding at 5 training wheel and until 6 then i tried 2 wheel and i fell and hurt myself and didnt ride for 5 years andfinally started in 11 i thought every people knew how to our cousns 3 year old can
It's okay big sister was crying 3.50 almost ☺️👍🏼 An emotional moment. Even I am 25 year old and I learned bike when I was 24. 🤔😂 . No problem at all.
I'm 19 Years old and i don't know how to ride a bike. My back of my knee always bleeding because of the pedals and i don't know how to make a turn.
Is there one in Florida?
Hah, lol! I'm Dutch, and when I was 3 years old, I already was riding an bike
***** 'Hi, I'd like to be your friend, but I'm not German. I am Dutch and I live in the Netherlands (die Niederlande), not Germany (Deutschland).

I’m 35 and I never realized lots of people don’t know how to skate, jump rope or ride bikes. My daughter is struggling now and I was so irritated but I never let her see that. But now I know it’s a process. She refuse to use training wheels.
I forgot how to roller skate. I haven't done it in nearly 40 years. I was 6 yrs old the last time I skated at a rink :(
I know how to ride a bike since i was 4 years old ride bike first time with training wheels until i was 7 or 8 years old ride a bike without training wheels

Bruh I'm 16 and i don't know how to ride a bike
i can;t sleep for week if i can ride 1000cc bikes on my own
a bicycle???meh what is that???
a vehicle consisting of two wheels held in a frame one behind the other, propelled by pedals and steered with handlebars attached to the front wheel.
Stop lying, you don't have a superbike. Keep sleeping m8.
In the background you can see the most useless zebra crossing on planet earth.
what sort of child hoods did they have ? lol My niece told me she couldn't ride a bike at 10 and I was shocked . Alien to me as I was riding busy roads at 12 , but well done :)
Karl 355 I don't know how to ride a cycle, but I had an excellent childhood. I'm learning at 25, never too late
I learned how to ride when I was 6! I ended up crashing into someone and going to the hospital
Late seeing this post but, I had a excellent childhood thank you, but never learned to ride because of fear issues I fell a lot and had really bad injuries so I gave up trying, now I want to know as an adult.
i mean no diss but not knowing how to ride a bike is kind of a shame!
Seriously? Some people didn't have family members who could teach them or could even afford to get a bicycle in the first place. I mean no diss, but you're extremely ignorant! :)
I would love to forget how to ride a bike, and learn again. Just imagine those emotions. I think it's great. Never too late to learn.
You're joking, right? You think everyone has access to a bike or parents/caregivers who are willing to teach? My brother had a bike (10 speed road bike), but got hit by a car and broke his hip at age 14 in May 1985. Be cause of that accident, my parents had zero interest in getting me a bike, let alone teach me to ride a bike.
They also never taught me to drive. I didn't learn to drive until age 27. I turn 46 next month and just learned to ride a bike because I taught my son and he wanted me to ride with him.
Don't "diss" people who never learned to bike. You don't know their story. Have some empathy.
@Manu Krishnan just feel ashamed when don't have the patience to practice and give up midway :) Learning to ride a bicycle is also learning,and learning is for all ages,This comment is 2 years old I hope you have changed your poor mind @Manu :)
If I was there I would have just wheelied past them
In other news plan parenthood is much worse than the dentist who killed the lion...

So bicycling for adults is alot easier. Child's waste their time to practising to bicycle and then they dangerously start to bicycle everywhere and waste their time more. Don't buy a bicycle for your child if you are responsible!
Petrus Saukkonen what are you trying to say?? its great for kids to bike?? i learned to bike when i was 5 and i wasnt harmed badly or anything
Nah you are the one that is irresponsible by not letting kid try cycling
