How to teach a child to ride a bicycle

If you first remove the pedals, master the ride will be faster.

1. Find a suitable place

It is better to study in a calm place without cars and other people who will scare the child and interfere with him. For example, on a playground at a school or park.

It is not so terrible to fall on cut lawns and lawns, but it is more difficult for young children to go to small children than on asphalt. Well, if the path is with a small slope. So the bike can roll longer.

2. Prepare a bike

If the bike has prequeling wheels, the first thing you need to remove them. There are more harm than benefits from them, because they do not allow the child to feel balance. Ideally, to learn to ride on two wheels at once, otherwise you will have to retrain, which is more difficult.

Next, dismantle the pedals from the connecting rods so that they do not interfere with training to keep the balance, starting from the ground. Remember that the left pedal has left threads – turn off the key clockwise, and the right – ordinary, right, and you need to unscrew it against the sentry. Then the pedals will need to be installed in its place. There should be no problems, usually there are la and r tags there.

And the last stroke is the height of the saddle. Loosen the fasteners and adjust so that sitting the child reaches both legs to the ground. In other words, he could walk on a bicycle.

3. Put on protection

If there are knee pads, slabs and helmet at hand, put on everything. Excessive precaution will not damage. Well, in the case when there is none of this, it remains to be careful and better to insure the child.

4. Make insurance

In order not to ruin all training in the root, make an impromptu safety belt from a scarf. Tie it with armpits with free ends to the back and support the child for him.

Keep behind the wheel or saddle, as well as push and hold the bike vertically in any case. Give the baby a little freedom so that he can feel management.

5. Train the child to keep balance

The baby’s task is to learn how to ride without pedals, pushing his feet from the ground. He must take a bicycle, take his hands behind the wheel and, having made a push, drive a couple of meters. Explain that he needs to accelerate, and then raise his legs and roll.

Thus, we remove from the equation to work with pedals and allow the child to focus exclusively on holding balance. And this greatly simplifies the task.

Do not forget to insure and cheer the child, even if he does not really succeed.

After 30-50 minutes of training or the next day, when the baby is already confidently holding balance, you can learn to pedal.

6. Install the pedals back

Do not mix them up and remember that the left is twisted counterclockwise, and the right one is clockwork. First, wrap the thread by hand, and then tightly tighten the key so that the pedals do not fall off while driving.

7. Raise the saddle a little higher

Now that the child is no longer pushing away from the ground, you need to adjust the height of the seats so that it is convenient to pedal. To begin with, you can go to a compromise and set the saddle so that the baby barely touches the earth and in the event of a fall can rely.

8. Introduce the child with pedals

Pedal and at the same time keeping equilibrium is difficult. Therefore, again break the great task into small. First, put the pedal in a convenient position, and then ask the child to press it and just roll as before.

Gradually complicate the task. Ask to click on one and the second pedal alternately, and then ride how much it will turn out. Most likely, at this stage, the baby will be able to go on his own.

9. Try to go

Fix the skill by training the simultaneous rotation of pedals and holding equilibrium. After the baby clicks on the pedals, let him not remove the legs from them. While the bicycle has not lost speed and balance, the child should begin to pedal.

If there is a partner, let him become a few meters, and the baby goes from you to him and vice versa. It is important that the child looks at the person to whom he goes, and not at the pedal.

After a few minutes of practice, everything is guaranteed to turn out.
