I don't actually remember learning, but this is what I do remember:

My mom took me to a thrift store when I was 5 and bought a bike with training wheels which I asked my dad to take off. he said no. I begged for days. He told me he would not remove my training wheels off until I stopped sucking my thumb. So I just road other kids bikes. One day my mom looks out the window and my bike was on the sidewalk - and then she sees me ripping down the hill on somebody else's bike without training wheels. She told my dad when he got home that he had to take my training wheels off. For my 6th birthday i got a turquoise bike with a pink and turquoise banana seat.
