Do parents know best?
I was asking my mum about CBT bike training because she had a bike when she was my age and she said 'you'd be no good with a bike' I said why she said 'well you have to have something about you'. Whats this supposed to mean, should I take her advice and forget it?

listen to their advice, and then ignore it.
life sux
i would say follow her advice.. she is your mother and she will never give u a wrong advice*
*Except when she's wrong
She probably doesn't want you to because she probably thinks it's dangerous.
My mother used to have a motorbike when she was younger but she's told me that it's too dangerous for me to get one. Not that I want one.
Maybe your mother's experience of them has made her think that it's not a good idea? I highly doubt that there's just something wrong with you specifically that suggests you wouldn't suit it. Her excuse sounds pretty dumb.
You don't really sound that keen on the idea though. It hasn't taken much for you to start having doubts.

A guy is repeatedly told by his parent's he's a failure and will never ammount to anything because he's stupid.
Annoyed, but determined, he leaves home and sets about his life, promising his family that despite their lack of faith he will make it, and be there for them when they need him.
In a little while through hard work he has set up his own business which is thriving. Years later he has become a millionaire. Every month in the post he sends his parents a cheque in the post for several thousand pouds, to thank them for raising him.
Every month his parents fail to cash the cheque due to a deliberate spelling error on it, to thank them for their belief.

try to see from her point of view explain to her why you want to do this to her she might then be more supportive towards you.
The fact that you haven't grasped the concept that bikes are dangerous regardless of how 'mature' you are, shows me that perhaps your mother is right. You don't have "something about you". That being, you're still immature or at least naive.
Wait until you're a little older as eventually your parent's opinion matters not.
For the time being, I suggest opening your eyes to your surroundings a little more than you're perhaps accustomed to.

Are you a double amputee?
Yes, parents do know best. In a couple of years you'll see that she was right. 
"Something about you" - balance? Concentration? Physical strength? I wouldn't want my brother to even ride a bike to school because he doesn't concentrate well and could have an accident easily. Thankfully this is not an isssue (he is not a fan anyway) because he wouldn't listen to my advice (duh!)

Nix!

How do you know he has not grasped the concept that bikes are dangerous? In which part of his post has he said that bikes are not dangerous?

What a load of crap. I've got a bike, and I honestly don't know what shes talking about. Unless she's talking about money, CBT is pretty expensive, and unless you're taking the test without training, that can cost money too.
And dude, bikes aren't dangerous at all. Don't know what you're talking about really.
Parents aren't always right, sometimes they get it wrong.
About the bike training, it's something that you would have to try and see if it suits you. Don't just give up on it because of what your mother said, it's something you need to try and if it works for you then great, if not then try something else! Better to give it a go and find out for yourself instead of missing out just because of a piece of advice that could well be wrong....

Is that why half the people I know that have owned a bike before 20 have had some form of accident is it? Is that the same reason why my uncle was knocked down and killed?
You're talking our of your arse... again.
