Great thread.
I learnt here. I was 4 and 'borrowed' my big sister's bike whilst she was inside with my parents having lunch. According to my parents I shot around the corner, rode past the window, rode right across the front garden then crashed into the fence because I hadn't learnt how the brakes worked. I've been cycling ever since.
