How do I learn to ride a bike on my own?

Long story short I'm 16 and I can't ride a bike. Yeah, it's stupid, I know. Anyway, is there anyway I can learn on my own? I'm really scared of learning so any tips are appreciated.

When I was 6 my dad tried really hard to get me to ride but I just could never get the hang of it. But now somethings come up and I need to do it.

well you should probably start off with some training wheels on your bike. i'm not sure if they have adult size training wheels but just look around. if someone asks who you're buying them for, just say "your little sister or cousin"first just sit on the bike. get a feel for it. know where your brakes are. (when going really fast never use the front brake! you will flip over the handle bars!) you should probably wear a helmet for now until you get the hang of riding. next thing is to just pedal. at first it will be hard for you to get your balance on the bike but it will come. just keep pedaling until you feel ready to take the training wheels off. you might want to have a friend help you and be there to support you.happy riding!
