0 Find a Great Way For Your Kids To Learn Ride A Bike

When your kids tell you that they hope to ride a bicycle like other kids, you may consider finding a great method to teach them. Maybe you have found that there are many extremist ideas about helping your kids learn to make it. The training wheels method is on the top of the attacking list and those people attack it as a useless and wrong method. However, thousands of kids still use this method and learn riding a bicycle successfully. I will introduce three methods to you in thin article and you can choose the appropriate method according to your kids' interest, confidence and ability.

Firstly, I'm going to talk about training wheels method that lots of people view as a worthless method. Believe all parents know what is training wheels and the wheels are equipped on rear wheel of the kid's bikes to help kids to keep bicycle balance. With this equipment, kids have no need to worry about the balance and they can focus on learning to pedal and steer first. Once he has mastered pedaling and steering, you can gradually raise the training wheels higher off the ground so that the bike is a little more unstable.

After kids improve and master the pedaling and steering skills, the training wheels can be removed. For the safety of kids, you'd better let your kids learn it on a grass area. If they fall, they won't get hurt. And of course, your child should always wear a bike helmet, whether he is on a tricycle or a two-wheeler.

OK, let's talk about the second method, which is a little different from the previous method. You just need to give your kids enough short bikes so that their feet can reach the ground. The first method is to put the pedaling and steering before balance. However, this method has the opposite way and kids need to learn to keep balance then pedal or steer. In this method, when kids feel unstable and they can keep balance depending on their feet by having feet on the ground. It's even better if you remove the pedals, to keep the focus exclusively on balance at first. Start your lessons on a slight downhill, so your child gets the feeling of moving forward while balancing.

When your kids completely master controlling balance, you can consider adding the pedals and let them try to put their feet on pedals. Finally, they can get used to pedals and know how to ride a bike basically. Next step is to let them ride on a flat surface. After a few practice sessions on flat ground, they may be ready for their seat to be raised to a more comfortable pedaling height, or to move up to a larger bike.

This is an old method and the author learned it by this method; maybe you also use this method when you were a kid. If the second method doesn't work or your kids don't like the small bicycle or no small bike is available, you can try the last method. Let your kid on his bike, remove the training wheels and hold him by the shoulders. Avoid using the handlebars or seat, which may influence the kid's balance. This method can help your kids to learn pedaling and steering without worry about balance. Then, you can let go and leave your kids to control balance. There is one thing you need to keep in your mind that don't let go without telling your kids. If you do and he falls, he won't trust you.
