No, not at all. I have an 11 year old son who can't ride a bike yet. He has Autism, very high functioning so you can hardly tell he has it at times, BUT some Autistics have very poor balance. Not sure why. Many never learn to ride a bike, ever. At least not a two wheeler. Chances are he'll never learn.
I have seen the old style three wheeler adult bikes. There are a few in my area. They also make "fat" training wheels. If you want to learn, try the "fat" training wheels which can usually be found in a catalog for children with special needs. Or you could try an adult three wheeler. Also, even a stationary bike can help you get used to balancing. There's no shame in not knowing how to do it. And don't let it bother you. I'm not even sure if some of my family knows how, and my grandmother had 7 children (who now have kids and grandkids), so that's a lot who don't know. Back in my grandma's days they couldn't afford bikes especially with a large family.

You know what it ain't as uncommon as you might think I've been in the industry a long time i have come across about 10 adults that couldn't ride and one we had to fit with with training wheels on a 26" wheel bike ...try finding those...long story short we found them they cost a small fortune but ultimately he learned to ride fairly well and is a customer of mine to this day

Well, if you wanna learn ----a BMX bike with some supporting wheels will guide you ( like those y'see on novices who still watch SpongeBoB Squarepants, and Power Rangers! ) With a companion you learn to balance the bike by removing the supporting wheels GRADUALLY---until you FEEL the balance ----Dude---this requires alertness and PLENTY of space where you are riding ( avoid speeding vehicles and sexy chicks while doing this or they will laugh at you for falling! ). Then let Obiwan show you the ways of the Force-----OOPS....RIDE then CONCENTRATE----Yeah...thats how it all goes---PEDAL TO THE METAL!!!

I'm sure there are lot's of people who can't ride a bike. That shouldn't stop you from learning though. It's a blast.

Feel free to try learning on a grassy field...falls won't hurt.
You might want to do this late at night, or early in the morning to avoid hecklers!
ps: it's never to late to try something new. Biking is awesome, get out there and try it!

I used to not know how to, but if you fall on the ground a couple of times you will get it! lol It is easier to have a friend or a person who knows how to ride with you.
