Oh look, Wolf is generalizing and broad brush painting again. And no surprise- the general claims are total crap.
I helped run a teen cycling mentorship program for 7 years and experienced the opposite of your claim.
Some knew how to ride and already loved it while we had others that had to learn to even ride, and they ended the 5 months with over 1600mi and even crossed the state.
Some also really got into the mechanical side and wanted to learn how bikes work and break.
Obviously there are a ton of teens who don't like cycling too.
Your over the top claim was just once again too much to not respond to.
