Very cool!
You learned like probably most of us. Me? I was about 6 or 7 (around 1959 or so) and my older brother got his first bike. (we weren't allowd to have bikes until we were 8). I was very jealous, so being a good big brother he "taught" me how to ride. The bike was way too big for me. He and his buddy got me up on the seat and together pushed me as fast as they could and let go. Flat, grassy front yard, so the crash was just business as usual for me. I learned pretty quickly after that. I've never lost the sense of fun riding a bike.
The way most little kids learn nowadays is on a little bike without pedals. They sit on the seat and scoot along with foot power until they get proficient at balancing. Then they get the pedals and it's a relatively pain free process.
