I've almost drowned twice, and I've smashed my face in countless times while biking, so I can do both but I prefer not to.

I can do both.......however, I'm a terrible swimmer. I can swim well enough to keep myself alive but that's it. I certainly won't be saving anyone from drowning as it would just result in two waterlogged corpses instead of one.
I learned how to ride a bike at the age of 6...ish I think. Very fun story, The first thing I do when learning how to ride a bike I drive right into a fence. I think that exists on video somewhere...
I don't remember when I learned how to swim but it wasn't long after I learned how to ride a bike.

I was born in Australia and have lived here my whole life. Yes I can swim. I also can ride a bike. I had to all through high school.
Please please try and learn to swim. That's the one thing we're proud of. That most of our population can swim. Please boost that number higher.latenightapplepie said:
I haven't voted because I'm unsure I can ride a bike.
Now I did learn it like everyone else and I rode for a while. But it's been years since I've ridden one. I know people like to say you never forget how to ride but I've yet to test that out again.
As for swimming, I've got the underwater thing pretty good. But I'm not sure I can hold my breath for very long. Which is why I want to learn how to do the over hand technique of swimming.

GODDAMMIT ! I picked the wrong option !!! I can both swim (really well) and ride a bike. I think that if you can't for medical reasons it's a necessity to know both of them. It can really come in handy.
I lived on a cluster of islands til I was 18, so I don't remember learning to swim, much like I don't remember when I learned to walk or talk. Just something I've always remembered knowing.
I got my tricycle when I was 3 or 4. I could ride my bike by kindergarten. It had a basket and cute pink streamers on the handle bars.

Haha. Yeah, the water is just as cold. And where the water is warmer, up north, you have to deal all those things that can kill you. Not sharks like most people fear, but jellyfish. The Irukandji close entire beaches in QLD during the summer.Dags90 said:

Riding a bike I learned when I was 12 or 13.
Swimming... well I can barely even tread water. I sink like a rock, and swimming from one end of a pool to the other (the long way) is something I've never accomplished in anything but maybe a kiddy pool.
So yeah, just to enlighten you elitist asswipes, not everybody knows how to do these things by nature alone.
If you're one of those people who are saying "If you haven't mastered these things by age 5 you must have a disability," I'd like to kindly request that you kill yourselves immediately.

Hilarious thing, I can swim i truly go butterfly which many people find profoundly awkward, I can not ride a bicycle yet I can ride a motorcycle. It is the starting point i have with a bike, I can not get out of a stop with no inertia break like a downhill track, i get all off to one side and fall like a sodding moron.
Oh the motherfucking irony
