Think back to when you first learned to ride a bicycle. How did it happen for you? Did you have a bike in your family that you learned on, or did a neighbor have one, or was it something else? I don’t know about you, but it’s not something I learned in school. It’s also not something that most of my friends learned in school, either.
How cool would it have been if you did, though? Even if it wasn’t something that you continued doing later in life, bicycling can teach important skills. Balance is obviously one of them—and it’s absolutely a massive help if you ever want to ride a motorcycle one day in the future. Hand-eye coordination is another. Also, simply finding a way to get outside and enjoy the outdoors in a way that resonates with you is an invaluable life skill, no matter your age.
