Today, I took off the training wheels of my niece's bike. I tried to show her how to ride it, but she told me to get off because I needed a "fat girl's bike." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was teaching my daughter how to ride a bike with no training wheels. After comforting her and assuring her that she'd be fine, I gave her a big push. She fell forward over the handlebars and scraped her chin on the front wheel. FML
Today, I tried to show my little cousin how to ride a bike without training wheels. Not only did I crash into a bush, but the handlebars hit me in the nuts, and I ended up rolling around like a Labrador in shit in front of the neighbors. FML
Today, I assembled my kid’s birthday bike without reading the instructions. I proudly presented it, only for him to sit on it and immediately realize the handlebars were on backwards. The training wheels were also uneven, so it leaned like a sinking ship. My kid said, “It’s OK Dad, it's not your fault,” which hurt more than if he’d laughed. FML
Today, my wife threatened to leave me for "bodyshaming" our daughter by giving her a bicycle for her birthday. I bought her a bike because she's been asking for one for months. FML
Today, the girl who likes me incredibly much asked me if she could come for a ride with me on my motorcycle. Normally this isn't a problem as I take lots of people out for rides for fun, but this time I had no choice but to tell her she couldn't because she's just too heavy for it. FML
Today, my sister stole my bike and gave it to her boyfriend. When I told my parents, they said it was fine, because I wasn't using it anyway. The reason I wasn't using it was because it needed a new tire, and I was saving up for one. FML
Today, the girl of my dreams asked me if I wanted to go biking with her. "Just the two of us," she said. I had to turn her down because I'm 17 years old and never learned how to ride a bike. FML
Today, I argued with my mom that I deserved enough independence to ride my bike to school. Halfway there, I realized I was so out of shape that I had to call her for a ride. FML
Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML
Today, I was showing my 6-year-old son how easy and safe it is to ride a bike. I didn't notice a pebble, bust up my leg, and my son is now terrified of bicycles. FML

Aww these little kids. Why do we find them so cute when they say the most offensive things. Anyway at least riding a bike is a good head start to loose weight.

Those are the priceless moments of 'kids say the darnest things'. Kids say random truthful stuff all the time because they don't have that filter to think if a comment is appropriate or not before they say it. She probably said it because you are obviously too tall for her bike. Even if you are heavy I still think her comment is very innocent and cute and you shouldn't be overly offended by it. I don't think she said it to hurt you.

Even if she didn't mean to be rude, her comment is hardly 'cute.' You need to teach kids from a young age that statements like that hurt people's feelings, or else they're going to continue doing it long after the time when it was considered 'innocent.'

And then they'll get beat up.

No way, that's not cute at all! That's the kind of thing that needs to be corrected. I'm sorry, but rude children are not pleasant to be around and grow up to be rude teenagers and adults. If she's old enough to ride a bike without training wheels, she's old enough to be held accountable for saying mean things especially to get her way, especially to her aunt that was helping her.

It's hard for an adult to fit on a kiddie bike. But if you really are fat: It's funny because she's fat!

Rude child!

Ouch. But most likely, you're three times her size because you're an adult. I doubt you're morbidly obese. It's a matter of personal choice.

My 8 year old has never been taught the word fat to use in such a context... of course my child is taught by ME and not by tv. I can see my daughter saying "Mooooom you are too big to ride my bike" and meaning I am literally to tall to big to ride a bike meant for a little girl. ASSuming your niece has just been watching too much tv or whatnot, I would assume she means you are too tall, too big not too fat.

As Queen said, fat-bottomed girls make the rockin' world go 'round. They also make little girls' bicycle tires go flat, apparently.

Which was also paired with "Bicycle Race." Of course, Queen didn't have to deal with issues of bent frames and broken axles.
