Possible for me to learn bike if i can't cycle?

[BoA]

Hello all, I know this sounds weird.. but is it possible for me to learn bike if I can't cycle?

 

Anyone who can't cycle managed to learn bike successfully? Can share with me you experience? Thx

I remember my first lesson for class 2b. Instructor ask who don't know how to cycle, one guy around age of 30 raise his hands, said he never cycle before. Within 15 mins he was riding the bike around the course. So it doesn't matter if you didn't know how to ride a bicycle, you can still ride a bike.

Can. First lesson they will ask one. Then they will help u along. No worries, go learn and enjoy.

[hanrxk]

Wah so jialat uh~...me i ride MTB bikes...can wheelie...manual...but when i took my 2b...i wobble alot...now i got my 2b and riding a vespa..i forgot how to do wheelie and manual on my MTB...

[gohjohan]

I still can wheelie on my GT mountain bike but when I release the handlebars, I can't seem to let it go straight when I pedal. I used to be able to ride without holding onto the handlebars.

 

Don't worry, I won't do that with my current ride

[invisiblman]

haha. interesting topic. "shldn be a problem man":smile:

learning a bike is easier than cycling. i think it's the speed ba... bike faster mah. =PpP

[invisiblman]

[xishuo]

at low speed, bicycle gives more balance cos its easier to handle... but at high speed, physics will ensure that the bike gives more balance...

 

wont say which is easier, i would just say, experience on balancing issue grows with age.

[LaVsy]

toking abt this.

 

last few months cycle my friend bicycle.

totally cant make it.

the bicycle i feel is too light to handle leh very hard to control.

keeep going left and right.

 

too much of phantom weight lao.

 

[Guest Eason]

i myself dun agree that you can cycle mean zai at motor bike... cause both are different thing.....i buang in my 1st pract

[sickmyduck]

Haha for me riding a bicycle and a motorcycle is quite different..

 

I started my 2b with no prior knowledge of cycling! but i'm in lesson 5 right now..

 

I don't think it's a problem but instructors will tell u to practise by cycling. i think it improves balance??

[BoA]

alright guys,, thanx.. prac next week!

[Les Kafilas]

yeah, aniwae i m 1 of those who dunno how 2 cycle. Go 4 riding lessons blur like sotong.At 1 time,the instructor must have been wondering why i kept going out of the figure 8(S course) while others can do it smoothly.Almost langgar a car.Hehehhe.But afta many tries I passed n i feel relieved.

Wish u all the best ! Dun wolly be happy+++++++++++

[BoA]

ok.. went for 1st prac.. totally cmi...

 

keep losing my balance.. dropped bike 5 times...

still stuck @ prac 1's 1st lesson...

 

bet i am SSDC's worst ever student...

kinda disheartened.. wondering if i should just give up...

 

=(

its true... i am gud at cycling, last time can cycle whole east coast without handlebar, low speed control no foot down, etc. but on Motorbike, things are different, need alot more confidence. Esp when learning, need more practice, more so on the low corner turning I always scared the bike will buang.

 

But still I recommend to learn cycling before or at same time as Motorbike, it will help in yr balance skills

[mnemonic]

The truth abt riding and cycling...your body and limbs cannot be too stiff...must rilex on them..even driving......too stiff like cartoon....and you will feel tired very fast

[Going Postal]

i wonder how this thread popped up after so long.

i cycled less than 10 times currently but im still crazy bout motorbikes, i think riding a bicycle helps with ur balance, because i failed plank like 6 times haha.. but i've already passed it, nothing is impossible!

[Technician III]

No problem man.. Dunno how to cycle doesn't mean tat u dunno how to ride a bike.. Different things lah.. Alot of pple tend to put these cycling and riding as the same thing.. I dunno how to cycle b4.. Now ride bike liao but still dunno how to cycle..
