- Demonstration of a student learning to bicycle by the method described in detail at www.ibike.org/education/teaching-kids.htm. The method works equally well for kids or adults. The student will learn to bicycle without falls and pain, and the teacher will be able to help the student without an arching back or strain.
I am in my thirties and never learned how to ride a bike. I watched this video on Tuesday, bought a bike the next day, and was riding after a few hours! This method is so simple; I didn't fall once. I'm so glad I found this and your website! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I am 30 now I have started
I am 52years old & 6 months i couldnt cycle, but with the help of this tutorial video I managed to learn & now I do cycle to work. My life has been completely transformed by this video. Thanks intibike for uploading this valuable & precious video.
This video taught me how to ride a bike as an adult, *all by myself* in my apartment building parking lot. I was 28. That was 13 years ago. THANK YOU.
Thank you so much, your video helped me to ride a bike literally within an hour, and I'm over 50.. happy, happy, HAPPY!!!
untamedangel27 awesome! congratulations🙋😊
really !? oh u are lucky how u did !!? it's still difficult for me I am really sad !
I find the secret is to find a caring friend to encourage you through it.
@@ShermanSitter I know it's been 9 months since you wrote your post but just want to say that my neighbor and I (we're also friends obviously) went together yesterday and bought bikes at Costco. My husband helped us with what little assembly was required and we practiced in a parking lot across the street from our homes. My husband videoed us and it's great to watch. We plan on starting slow. Walking around the neighborhood to increase leg strength and overall fitness level to gain confidence before riding our bikes on streets. We intent to have a blast on new adventures together in better health and fitness. I am 66 and she is 65.
I want to learn but don't have bicycle to learn I afraid to buy before learn also shops close now
Look how happy that lady is by learning a new skill! Priceless!
lmao
She looked very happy!! Also looked like she was having fun!
maybe she couldn't hear the song? that sounded happy.
She has an infectous smile
I had my doubts, but I tried this method and I can now ride a bike. It was hard and took me several hours, but I did it!
Lesia Cooper really
Lesia Cooper Congrats to u. I am gonna try it myself.
how old are you
Lesia E H congratulations!!🙋
It was a childhood dream to learn cycling.. I tried many times but failed. Thanks a ton for this video.. I learnt cycling entirely on my own. Took me 4-5 hrs but now I can ride it effortlessly. And zero falls during all this. A huge thanks 🤗
I can't help but smile when she shouted in happiness at the end.
We had tried to teach my now 8 year old daughter to ride a bike for the last two years, all without success. She was just frightened of the bike and I was getting worried that she would never learn to ride. I saw your video and thought I'd try it. Worked like a charm! She was riding the bike the same day. It's genius to take it in steps. I can't thank you enough! :-)
mandh50 awesome job 😊
mandh50 awesome job and good for you for being patient and trying something new. I wish my family had been paitent and took the time like you did. Now I'm 48 going to try again.
mandh50 I learned to ride from this video @42
Great video. Thank you very much. After watching this video I went out to my garden at 8pm. I have managed my balancing in 15 minutes and then put the peddles back on. After 10 minutes I was able to ride but then my garden was small for riding. I toke a rest and then went out to the street at 9pm and by 9.20 pm I had a good control on the bike. I'm very happy that I watched this video. I'm 37 and never thought that I'll be able to ride a bike. I am now thanks to this video.
Ary Iany congratulations!!! Woohoo. Seeing these positive posts makes me feel hopeful. Thanks
And then you probably couldn't sleep after that? I'm just thinking how excited I would be. Well done!
Yipee, am really excited to learn.
Is it true you manage to balance yourself on a bike for JUST 15 minutes? 😮 How so? Balance is so difficult to maintain?😢
Bless you sir! My scary grown 27 year old self just learned how to ride in 2 hours.
I can’t believe it I’m a huge chicken when it comes to riding a bike now I’m riding on the side walk. Thank you!
Please give me tips
I need tips or fake and scam
At 33, I finally learnt how to ride today following this video! The method is perfect! Once I learnt how to balance & got the feel of how to glide along, pedaling came almost naturally! Thank you!
It's my third day n still struggling with balance quite tens 😔
@@snehalbagde5736 me too!!! Any updates?
I watched a few videos on how to learn to ride a bycicle and yours was one I liked and enjoyed the most. I also found it really hepful and took all the lessons you gave and put them into practice, and today after 45 mins I learned how to ride a bike. I'm 27, SO IT'S NEVER TOO LATE. DO NOT BE AFRAID AND JUST DO IT!
After you know have how to keep your balance over the bike figured out (do find a slight slope just like the lady in this video, it does help a lot!) the rest just comes more naturally and you just need to practice. Do not give in until you have it figure out and can start pedaling on your own, doesn't even take you days.
After watching many videos on how to ride a bike today, I noticed there were lots of people over 20 that didn't know how to ride a bike, so don't feel embarrased if you don't know yet, just borrow or buy a bike if you can and try. Have a nice day and tell your stories so more people will feel encouraged to give it a go. When I read comments of people telling their success stories it definitely helped me out to learn how to ride once and for all even more!
This is the BEST VIDEO on how to learn to ride a bike, my son is 14 and never rode a bike, i got him his first bike yesterday and i tried to teach him and it was a nightmare, he kept falling, crying and hated the bike,he could not balance. we got on line and watched videos together and this was be the best, WOW it was GREAT, he was riding by himself with one hour! i was not teaching him right., just balance first going down a slope and NOT PEDAL, YOU MADE MY SON ONE HAPPY KID, thank you!!
I tried these techniques and within an hour and a half I got it. Thank you.
Well boy! with that music, I feel soo ready to start! But not bike yet. I use to run but broke my cross tendom in one of knees, now with all the happening in my beloved Venezuela, everybody needs a bike, I think will be ready for next week. Cheers!
I was grinning from ear to ear watching her do it with pride, at her age☺️💚 Makes me feel like There’s hope for me after all 😆😊
Sheroma Blackman I am learning now and seeing this gives me hope.
I just learned how to ride a bicycle (I'm 28) and this video helped me a lot! I practiced using a child's bicycle because I needed to have my feet touch the ground as I'm really short. I followed the steps in this video and within a few days I was riding a grown-up bike! Thanks a lot for helping people like me.
This is giving me hope I am 21 and I have been trying to for two days 😭 I will update you when I learn wish me luck.GUYS I AM SO HAPPY I CAN RIDE A BIKE 😊😊😊 not perfect but practicing I tried this method it works try it out
I learned to ride a safety bicycle in the 1960's by the regular method and 40 years later learned to ride an ordinary (60" wheel BTW) in exactly the same way. This is essentially the method shown in the video and splits the 3 basic skills required into separate stages, rather than trying to learn all 3 at the same time, C-B-A
C= Control - astride the bike with feet flat on the ground, and 'paddle' around feeling how the steering and brakes work, without jerking. Older learners can start off the bike, and holding the saddle, wheel the bike around, steering it by leaning, and push the bike along feeling the right forces to apply to the brakes for smooth stopping
B= Balance - raise the saddle slightly and with a smooth pavement or tarmac or blocks, that has a slight downhill incline, scoot and lift the feet up, for longer and longer distances. Having already mastered C the rider can brake & steer with confidence. A great thing here is that it is very difficult to go faster than you can scoot.
A= Action - set up the pedals, and use the non-attached support options (holding shoulders lightly), with a pedal 'high' at 45 degrees to push down on (either foot - but usually the right one by natural right handedness). Initially some may prefer to 'ratchet' pedal making partial rotations and rocking back as they roll along, and gradually increasing to full rotation of the pedals. Others can move to a single powerful push down and get rolling straight away
Once these basic skills are mastered than further vital skills need to be acquired
- Riding with one hand lifted from the 'bars and then with the arm extended to signal
- Riding whilst looking behind and keeping in a (fairly) straight line - the Lifesaver look, as c.80% of cyclists killed by drivers are hit from behind, and this is a vital way of communicating with drivers (and cyclists) coming up behind you
- Getting off and on a moving bicycle - the London Ambulance riders (& many Police cyclists) learn 8 ways of dismounting, often a way to avoid injury should the brakes fail, or a rider 'runs out of road'. A classic novice injury is the broken collar bone when a fall leaves the rider with arms stiff and stretched out in front to hit the ground
A caveat on stabilisers here - they should really be called de-stabilisers, and pose a very real danger of a child leaping on to a bike and pedalling off at speed without knowing how to stop or steer. Then a corner taken at speed, by turning the handlebars, will see the bike lifted up and rotating around the pivot point of the outside stabiliser wheel, throwing the rider face-first into the pavement - injuries to the face and neck which a helmet can actually exacerbate.
I really love the smile on her face when she was able to get her balance the first time. Great job!!
This really works! I did these drills and I went from falling over to pedaling around in a parking lot within an hour! Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
This is where I learned how to bike! That was on 2016 I was 21 years old. Without falling on the ground. And now, I'm gonna teach my son on how to use a bike without pain of course. :)
After 22 years, i never really thought i could ever ride a cycle especially being blind in one eye and feeling too embarrassed to ride a cycle
I got a cycle and followed these steps without the decline and removing the pedals
Took me 2 days but i can finally ride a bike, thanks to this video :')
The technique is great. I learned how to ride a bike in less than 5 ours, after decades upset about not knowing. I can't remember how many times my friends would go for a ride, or talk about that, and I could not participate. Thanks a lot! Great video! Now I can say I am a happy kid, with 32 y old!
This was incredibly helpful, our daughter learned from this video. Took a few days, but there was improvement every day. Now we're getting around and working on traffic safety and other skills. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for this video. With this method, I was able to ride for the first time in my life with a 28 wheel at 35 years. I practiced 30mins and the next 1.5hrs was like I've been doing this for long. God bless you
You taught me too! As a mother I can finally ride with my little boy!! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏👏 no more battered and bruised ankles 😂
Thanks. Worked perfectly for my daughter - She got comfortable balancing while going down a small grassy slope. She kept the pedals on the whole time, then after 8-10 trips down the hill, she started pedaling down the hill. As soon as we got home, she went right to the back driveway and it happened!
I have been looking for tutorials on how to learn to ride a bike at my late 40’s. I found this tutorial a long time ago and from then on till now still stuck in my mind. And this afternoon 20/03/21, finally made it in 3 hours. I still need practice as my partner has to push to give me a start up. Thank you for your tutorial. ♥️
Thanks for the great video! Learnt how to ride a bike in 60 min, despite my age of 40. Thought I could never do it...
JakeWhite06 woohoo awesome!🙋
Thanks for the video. i'm 18 and after watching the video, I can actually ride the bicycle on the road after practicing for about 1 hour.
good job.
Thank you for that. Shows that you're never too old to learn how to ride a bike.
I'm 48 and hopefully will be finally ride a bike. I'm feeling confident with these awesome videos. I'm crying because I'm so happy for her. She did a great job and you are a awesome teacher. I wish when I was a kid this was how they taught people to ride bikes.
This is very nice video. I am 35 years old and dont know how to ride a bike before. Thanks for this video, I know how to ride a bike now. I thought i would never experience to ride a bike. Was motivated to learn how to ride because my 5 year old son already know how to ride a bike and he wants me to accompany him while riding. Luckily , I saw this video and i tried it in a concrete slope/parking lot in a university. I woke up 5 am in the morning to learn by myself and copy the method used in the video and hola within an hour I am already riding a bike. Thanks again
How long did it take u?
@tarahu My Dad always told me that whether you're driving a car or a bike, you will subconsciously steer towards whatever you are looking at. Look ahead, not down and focus on where you want to go. It always worked for me. Best of Luck!!
My 6 year old and I just watched it and decided to give this method a try. She learned to ride in under an hour. She's one happy girl! Thanks!
My 8 year old learnt bicycle in 2 days after watching your video. Thanks a ton. Great technique :))
6:20 her smile that made my day hahaha. Good job! I was learning on how to ride a bike then ytube recommended me this. i wanna ride a bike with my friends.
this video changed my life.... thank so much.... i am 32.
Thank you so much, Im 33 and never try to ride a bike , and it took me hours to learn it and overcome my fear.
I've watched several learn to ride clips, this is the best. Superbly inspirational video, my 6 yr old got balancing and pedalling in under an hour. My daughter's message is "I love this video, and can't wait to get my first big bicycle".
I really wanted you to know this, i am 20 year old who tried cycling when I was like 5/6 and fell off the cycle which created a fear in me when learning... and I couldn't give my 💯 so now when I decided to face my fears and wanted to bicycle... I came across your video and tried it hoping I would learn I did fall once tho😂 I bicycled 20 mins per day for 4-5 days and boooommmmm!! I got it! I'm so happy so is my family and I'm thankful to you.. God bless you!!!😘
Thank you for sharing. I used this technique to teach my 15 year old son today, and he was riding in the street in under 2 hours.
Thank you so much, my wife was afraid of learning to ride a bike, and we failed many times. After we watched your awesome video, she success in 2 hours.
Great technique. After failing at getting my young daughter to ride a bike using other teaching methods (running alongside holding the bike etc) I successfully had her riding her bike this weekend after using this technique in about 30 mins! Result = Happy Dad and Daughter looking forward to going on rides together.
This video motivated me so much- I went out on my bike (that I had literally bought the day before) and within an hour was riding a bike for the first time ever (I'm 37 years old!!). Thank you so much for the gradual steps and the idea of using a slope initially to help get balance and momentum. I'm so excited that I can go out riding and teach my son now too!! Brilliant
I am 60 and self teaching to ride. Your voice, instructions and confidence in the learner will remain with me until I ride. Thank you
Ive been teaching my wife for 2 weeks and she did not learn.i almost throw away her new bike.😂😂.but when she watched this video.it took her 15 minutes to learn how to ride a bike.you are a very good teacher😁😁😁😁
I can't tell how lucky I feel to found this video. I have never ride cycle before and I wanted to learn, if it wasn't for this video I wouldn't have able to ride it feels like dream comes true. THANKS A LOT 😭
I wish I posted this 4 years ago when it first helped my son to learn how to ride a bike. He learned in 15 minutes and the steps you gave were so helpful!
Now I just come here and watch your video because it’s so wholesome and makes me smile 😊 I’m so happy she can teach ppl of all ages ❤️
Hi! I learned how to ride a bike yesterday. Thank you for this video. This helped so much, especially with using the slope/small hill to get momentum at first.
Today I learned how to ride a bike for the first time at 29 years old, in 45 minutes! After reading comments of people saying they learned in such short time, I really wanted to be one of them and I did it! It was the most amazing feeling! Thank you so much for the video!!!
May i borrow your backyard
Lol yes
I need too
I'm 18 and I can say for sure that this method is super effective.I've learned in 1.30 hour.Thank you a lot, I would have never made it without this video :)
After watching this video I just learnt to ride a bike in two hours practice!! I am 30 and this is my first time trying... just make sure you follow all the steps shown in the video and you will see that you are living your childhood dream :))
Wow
I am 27
Literally it's my dream
I am going to learning this video helpful & motivating me also
OMG, I was cheering her up:) Thank you-thank you for the lesson!!! I'm going to try your system.
This method worked perfectly for my son. He was riding within 90 minutes. Thank you so much for posting this video! Cheers from Montreal, Canada
I learnt to ride today and this is one of the videos I constantly referred to. It helped me with the techniques step by step.
This is probably the only video I have seen where someone is genuinely learning to bike!
This is one of the best videos for beginner bicyclists. I wish that I had been exposed to this method when I first started to learn how to ride a bike at 8 or 9 years old.
Yeah, I finally learned how to bike without hurting myself too much and before my 39th birthday. Great video!!
Great video.. ran behind my 5 year old granddaughter for an hour with no luck, taught her in less than 10 minutes with your technique
This is the sweetest video. It reminds me of all the joy involved in learning something new! I love her squealing with happiness in the last scene. I'm been trying to teach my 6 yr old (for a LONG time) and i'm so excited to try this.
I was going to sell my new bike untill I saw this video. Thanks to both of you.
Most People do not understand that the fact that you do not know how to do something makes it harder for you to learn especially as you get older. I am 32 years and couldn't ride and it was like a private shame.
So i wanna thank you guys for this wonderful video and method. I got up very early before anyone else would wake up and hit the road. It took me just under an hour (I like to think its because the bike was too small that it took so long) but now i really can ride. Thank you so much
"...and hit the road..."
Hopefully not literally, lol. (j/k)
It's amazing! My 4 years old twins (boy and girl) can ride without training wheels after 1 hour learning! Thank you very much!
Real training - with no time. I really loved that for my kids to learn bike riding.
I love your video! I'm 45 & BF tried to teach me yesterday for an hr. Eventually got to a pt where I pedaled a bit by myself pretty fast but not consistent or confident. I'm so happy your video proved my instincts right. I tried to roll the bike without pedaling and also wanted my seat real low as I did this. BF didn't agree. I feel validated and also now feel more confident that I will be riding well by this weekend, if not by tomorrow or Friday! Thank you so much! WOOHOO!
Thank you so much for showing how to ride a bicycle. I am 30 plus ,saw your video and tried to ride a bicycle and yes I did it in 5 days. Today is 26 th December and I took the first ride..so came here to thank you..love from India❤️
Congratulations and be safe.
Give me tips please
This is literally the best way to learn. I thought myself in two days!
I agree this method works pretty well.
I watched on Monday and today (Tuesday) I was able to ride my bike for a couple of hours.
Just a few things: adjust the seat as much as it is needed. It is better to have your feet on the ground. Another important thing is to find a slope (natural ramp), not sharp so you wont go fast as you're learning to control the bike.
This is exactly how I taught myself to ride a bike as a teenager and again 10 years later as an adult getting back into it.
Just coasting down a gentle hill with the seat all the way down is all you need to do to get a feel for balance, speed, and braking. Once you can comfortably ride down a gentle hill, it's time to start pedaling. I kept the seat low at first so that I could easily plant my feet if needed, and once you get a feel for pedaling, you will want to raise your seat to the proper height. The final step is learning how to smoothly start and stop your bike. After that, you are good to go and will just naturally get better and better and handling the bike. Just remember, always look where you wanna go!
If you are an adult or teen trying to learn, do not give up! You can figure it out in less than a few hours of genuine practice. It's so much easier than it seems at first; the difficulty is from your brain having to form new neural connections and learning the new muscle memory, not from actually riding the bike itself. After all, they really do ride themselves when you get moving.
oh wow thanks for this technique just got a 24" bike for my 9 yr old son who has never ridden a bike b4. can't wait to start teaching him how
Fantastic! I taught my friend how to ride a bike using this method and it was perfect!
Thank you so much for creating this video. After many times trying to teach my 8 year old how to ride a bike and only to have it end in tears and frustration. He got it in one session after watching your video. We didn't take off the pedals but we did use a down hill grassy area to get his balance and then after a few times doing that he rode around a running track with ease! Thank you again it helped so much!
What a sweet video. In addition to being very good instruction, it was a joy to see the pleasure of the person learning to ride.
Aaw, I was so happy for her at the end! I'm hoping to learn how to ride soon, great video!
I'm going to be taught how to a ride a bike today and it's really great to know that I am not the only adult who can't ride a bike. thanks for this video!! I have hope now!
I love the song playing every time she does it successfully. That was a great video! Thanks.
You make it look so easy. I wanna learn how to ride a bike too (I'm 23 soon) but I really don't have anyone to help me and it's rather embarassing to go out and practice and repeatedly fail at it.
Well this gives me hope. I'm a 27 year old male and this has always been a cause of shame but I am determined to master it this year.
Couldn't figure out how to put a comment on your video, but it was a tremendous help to me in teaching my 10 year old grandson to ride a bike. He didn't want to learn out of fear of failure and if it had not been for your easy method I don't think he would have learned with out hurting himself. He can now ride and I wish you could have seen his thrilled face, his huge smile when he rode on pavement for the first time. God bless!
Thank you for your video i learn how to ride the bike from you thank you so much now i ride my bike everyday godbless.
Although this method is the best way to learn to ride, riding on grass is so much harder than paving so this lady did really well.
I think that's the point. If you're able to ride on grass, you would have an easier time riding on pavement.
This was awesome video ! .. I tried the technique today and I was able within an hour to balance myself and pedal downhill in a park without a fall .. I am 25 and this was a step that I couldn't do in my childhood .. Really Thanks !!! :)
THANKS!!!! I managed to teach my 5 y.o. son riding 2 wheels in 3 hours using your method.
This is exactly what i did! I was 40 when i learned to ride a bike. Thank you for this video!!!
my friend taught me to ride a bike a few months ago :D I just turned 17! it was surprisingly easier than I thought!
awesome! I'll try to do this :) I just bought a bike today and wanted to learn how to ride one so I can also prepare myself to learn how to drive a car lol. I know it's sorta different, but most of my friends were able to learn how to drive very easily because they knew how to ride bicycles. So, believing in what they say, I will learn how to bike and will follow these drills :) thank you so much!
It's been 40 years from the time I learned to ride a bike, now, I am in my 60's but still have the eagerness to ride a bike. Though it took so much time to balance , but doing it repeatedly makes it a little bit perfect. Now that fuel has a sky rocketing price better to ride a bike in going to work. A lot of benefits can be achieved. Thanks for your awesome video, I learned so much the basic once again.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. The best tutorial ever. I thought I can never do it but finally I have learnt to ride bike. It took me some time, almost a week but with some patience I could do it. :)
Great video! Thank you, the teacher, and the learner.
the best video to help adults learn that I've found! I feel I can do it!
Thank you for this fantastic upload, Im taking my wie for her first practice run right now (completely removed the pedals and chain from an old bike!).
I watched alot of videos on TH-cam but only this one helped me ride for first time. Great video & instructions THANKS
WOW! This video is absolutely very helpful. I am 40 and never ridden a bike before but I would love to join my kids while they bike around our area and I couldn't do it bcoz I don't know how to, this video is such a big help. THANK YOU so much for sharing! :)
WoW beautiful song. Nice tutorial. I learned the hard way, loosing the balance and hurting myself many times. But it was worth it.
I just tried this technique today and it took me about one hour to get used to the bike and to balance... I still can't ride it on flat ground, but I'll practice more! but this video has helped me a lot!!! thanks!!!
