One of my two sons does not ride. I tried to teach him several times over the years, starting at about age 5. At about age 12 I was helping him and he got the hang of it and rode a few hundred yards by himself. Then he quit. I was never able to get him back on a bike and he never expressed any interest. I don't think it was a fear thing, he just didn't like it. He played baseball and football, got some injuries and didn't seem to care. He is now 20 and in college. His girlfirend can't get him to ride either.
My second son took easily to riding. I helped him for about half an hour and he was off on his own leaving me in his dust. I guess everyone is different.
