Who got you started on cycling?

I guess I should also add that as a pre-teen and teen, I rode a bike quite a bit. It was recreational though, nothing like it is now.

(lol! i had the tricycles and 2-wheelers with training wheels... and then whatever speed bikes while growing up... but when i answered..... i thought you's all meant who/what got me started as an adult rider!!!!!!! soooooooooooo if you go back to childhood... then of course it was mom and dad who bought me my first bike!)

Me too. As a child, I rode out of necessity. My bike was transportation until I got a driver's license and a car.

Ironically, I learned how to ride a bike late. Most of my peers learned by first grade, and I couldn't get my balance right until second grade.

I never thought of the bike for recreation or fitness until I met my husband.

That's what I thought too! But I was seeing a lot of posts about childhood riding so thought I'd chime in there as well.
