  • My son was having a hard time learning how to ride a bike... so I told him we were going to check out youtube and find out if there was a an easier way to learn to ride a bike. We found Bike New York! My son spent about an hour a day for 2 days balancing without the pedals. The third day he practiced without the pedals for about 15 minutes and then we put the pedals back on. It took him less than a minute to successfully ride his bike.

  • For over 6 months we have been trying to teach our son to ride his bike. We watched your video showed it to our 7 year old, took the pedals off, and within 30 minutes he was riding on his own! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was starting to think he was never going to ride his bike. I failed to mention he couldn't even ride it with the training wheels! LOL.

  • Did this method with our daughter and within the hour she was riding her bike. Taught her on Cannock Chase so plenty of space for her to get her confidence. Easy but brilliant idea.

    

  • IM going to teach myself like this :D

  • Used this process with our 7 year old daughter and within a week and a half she was riding perfectly by herself, amazing!!! From two happy parents and one very very happy daughter. Birmingham , England.

  • This is unbelievable! Our 6 year old daughter has struggled for months with no success. She "balanced" for 20 minutes one day without the pedals. Today we put them back on and she literally took off down the road! Thank you so much!

  • definetly will try this weekend

    

  • I tried today with the old ''hold the seat, run, push, let go'' method. Being quite short, I still suffered severe back pain. Cannot imagine what a 6 feet + loving daddy would go through. This is the technique I will try tomorrow morning with my little one. I will post the result.

  • This video worked for our 5 year old. The best part was not running holding the seat. A lot less fighting for mom and daughter! We spent 1 hour balancing (3 nights for 20 minutes), then she was able to pedal on her own. By the 5th day, she was riding smooth curves, steering, and stopping without problem! This truly taught her within 1 week and it was thrilling to watch as the parent. Thanks New York -- from Tennessee

  • Thanks!!!!
