How to ride a bike?

Q.


Answer
Well it seems simple

1. You get on

2. You push off something

3. You peddle

BUT its not that easy

those three steps are vital but what you must do is develop a sense of balance on the bike. Once you do this you will never forget how to ride a bike, its true. The balance comes from confidence and that is why parents tend to put "training wheels" on young childrens bikes. It is to help them develop the confidence needed as well as a little of the balance. Once you get the confidence and balance its just a trail and error process. You keep trying and peddling....thats important you have to peddle or the bike stops. YOU WILL FALL A FEW TIMES but eventually you will learn the balance and how it feels and its something you will never forget.


AND THATS HOW TO RIDE A BIKE

Answer
I had a fellow come in my bike shop that had never been able to learn to ride a bicycle.

If you learned to ride a bike at an early age it is hard to understand how complex this is but I have had some experience teaching adults to ride and it is not easy. The most graphic case I remember was a guy that wanted to learn to ride a bike because he wanted to go out with the ladies. Eventually they would talk to him about going out on a bike ride and he would have to lie and make up excuses about how he couldn't make it. The real truth was he never really learned when he was small and the few times he had tried he had only scared himself further. Because he was now almost 40 and it was hurting his social life, he wanted to try again to learn.

I asked him if he had balance issues in other areas in his life and he surprisingly was a private pilot and an accomplished person in many areas. So his lack of balance was not due to a medical issue with the inner ear - just lack of balance on a bicycle.

I took a small folding bike and a childrens bike I had in my bike shop and lowered the seats so he could put both feet on the ground easily. We tried them both and the kids bike seemed to work the best for him.

We went to a park out early to give him some privacy and made a few laps of the grassy field. You see he was just terribly embassased that he could not ride a bike. The grassy field was to reduce injury when he fell and also because the soft surface helps to slow down the bike's movements. I held him tightly like a little kid and walked him around. He struggled for balance. After a few times he was surprised to see that he was beginning to get the rudiments. He fell a few times but with a helmet and the grass it was no problem.

We did these lessons on several more occasions and on the third time we went out he went about 20 feet without putting his feet down or falling. He was screaming with excitement. Something went off in the guy's mind and he suddenly knew he could do this. It was only a short period of time before he came in the bike shop and bought a full size bike for himself followed by a short time later he came in and bought another bike for his fiance, beautiful young lady who loved to bike ride.

So I would suggest you get a big friend who will help you and repeat the procedure I outlined above.

Good luck. I know you can do it!!!
