I'm 15 and my brother is 12. My parents just never taught us how to ride bikes when we were younger. (My dad passed away when we were really young and my mom had a lot of other issues. We live with an uncle now.) At a garage sale my brother and I bought bikes, because they were really cheap and we really wanted to do fun things this summer. Today we tried, and it was REALLY hard. I know this sounds stupid,but how can 2 older kids learn how to ride a bike?

Answer
Take turns holding the bike while one pedals slowly. Hold till the rider can balance on his own. It doesn't take long. The holder walks along side or in the rear.

Answer
The same way young children do. Practice.

It's really not an issue. Older children and adults learn to ski and skate all the time, even though in some countries everyone learns as a young child.
