If you have enough balance and leg strength to walk, then you have enough balance and leg strength to ride a bicycle. Keep your shoulders level and your head and eyes up just like when you walk.
Had one as a kid, with training wheels that weren’t on right, and I never felt safe on it. Constantly felt like I was going to tip. Gave it away to a friend years later.
Bought another one about 10 years ago, never rode it, my wife did something with it idk.
As a kid I mostly did scooters, also had a razer scooter a few years back that I would use to commute when I lived near work, but these days arthritis in my knees makes that less fun.
I tried one of those electric scooters, and didn’t feel safe on it, decided to walk instead. Which I’m a pretty fast walker, even still now with the bad knees.
Wish they’d make narrow trikes, which I think I’d do better on, but most of them are like 2-3 feet wide in the back which is way too big for most purposes.
All I need now is the knowledge, sense of balance, and confidence to ride a bicycle
My country runs courses for adults to learn how to bike - maybe yours does the same?

The more you ride, the better you get. Try include cycling into your exercise, and within a year you should be better with it.
If you’re in need of some inspiration; Tom Scott on YouTube made a video of himself learning how to ride a bike. Seeing someone else learn something can be useful, and there’s a lot of little things in the video one can pick up on to avoid common mistakes.
do you have a bicycle?
