when they learned to ride a bike? I'm trying to determine if my kid is retarded.
This is a scientific survey, so none of the usual SO crap. Serious answers only.

With or without training wheels?
5. ish.
3 or 4. Put kid on bike, roll him down driveway, eventually he gets tired of crashing. Harsh but after a few trips both got it.
I have never learned. Where I lived, things were either in walking distance or too far away to ride bikes.

I amend my request to include suggested methods for teaching said children to ride said bike. My current method is going to drive me to drink.

Daughter at 7, son at 4. They're three years apart and learned to ride a bike at the same time. Motivation has a LOT to do with it.
I don't know how to ride a bike and I'm 21. I'm hoping to learn soon...

Daughter, 5. Son, 3. She pwn3s him on her potty training record though.
I took Jr to a street with a very gentle decline - not enough to be called a hill. We worked on making sure she could use the brake, then I started taking her to the top of the decline and letting her ride down. A few times down and she pretty much had the hang of it.
Mine or theirs? Daughter is six and has the coordination of a ....uhm...somehting with no coordination. So, you're saying she may not be retarded after all. Good to hear.
heh.
seriously, put the pads on them and find a slight graded driveway. 30min. and they will have it.
I'll teach you gonzo. Let me apologize in advance for any hand to bottom contact whilst holding the seat. The bike seat. Not your seat. That will be inadvertent.

She was 5. I just took off the training wheels and pushed her along, progressively giving her less support until I wasn't helping at all. We got it done in about 30 minutes as I recall. Turning took a little longer.

First thing you need to do is get her a girl's bike.....
