Shall we ...? No, .....

Hello,

Can you please tell me how to negatively respond to "shall" questions, such as "Shall we ride a bike?" or "Shall we fly a kite?" Can I say, "No, let's not?"

Thank you

You could, but it is a bit abrupt. 'Oh, I'm not very good at bike-riding / kite-flying.'

Hotmale"No, let's not?"

As a child I was always amused when an adult answered

Let's not and say we did.
