You know that face your friend makes when you tell them you haven't tried a certain type of ice-cream? Or when you reveal that you haven't done something that the majority of people consider to be the most ordinary things? Well, prepare to make that face yourself as we dive deep into the list of the most basic things some people have never tried in their lifetime, and some are even secretly proud of it. From never biting on a pear to never learning how to ride a bicycle, some people are really doing the opposite of living life on the edge. This Bored Panda challenge invites you to write down the things you haven't tried and to add them to our post!

    Except that's not what that phrase means. The actual phrase is "it's just like riding a bike" and it's used to refer to something that once learned, is easy to do, even if not done for a long time. It's not about initially learning how to ride.

    This is true. I rode bikes a lot when I was younger, then I got busy with work in adulthood and there was not any place or reason for me to ride for YEARS. I think it may have been about a decade that I didn't ride. Then, one day, I decided to start riding again for exercise. Jumped right on the bike and took off. I didn't even need to think about it; just did it. Amazing.

    I learnt riding my bicycle at a young adult age. I never understood that phrase either. Now I have no difficulty riding it, but it's still a freakin' cardio sport! And you gotta focus on traffic (which includes people and animals), and ground elevations. It's fun and convenient, but it's definitely not easy.

    Here in Finland we had to do bike trips at school where everyone had to ride a bike together to visit various places. I remember when someone still had training wheels when he was 8 years old and everyone laughed at him.

    My brother would make fun of my when I was young and learning to bike, because I use to fall ways too often. I was bit sad by that, but then I learned that he didn't even know how to ride and that motivated me to learn and shove it in his face! Hahaha (it worked)

    Not a difficult task. Interestingly, I changed three tires in my life, despite never owning a car. Turns out there are a lot of people out there that have cars but don't know how to do it and are completely helpless as a result. I only knew how because I had watched my grandpa do it as a kid once.
