A short excerpt from a Cracks Podcast episode featuring Eva Marcushamer describing her childhood as the sixth child among five older siblings and recounting that she never learned to ride a bicycle. The segment emphasizes family dynamics, age gaps, and a personal anecdote about fear and learning.
Your friends learned something from you that you don't know how to do, which is ride a bike.

So I didn't learn anything except to watch them to grow up. Okay. And no one taught me how to ride a bike. And to this day, I don't know how to ride a bike. I remember a friend's dad trying with me. He would leave me on a hill and I had to do that, but it was terrifying. Terrifying. So I never learned.
