Thanks to you Amy! At 19 years old I've finally learned how to ride a bike it took me 4 days and your vids really helped a lot! It's not too late guys, just keep trying and you'll get there☺️
Hi Amy ... i really want to thank you for your videos , today I learned to pedal ! Im actually biking . Im 50 yrs old and very happy , thanks to you! More Power !
Oh that's so wonderful Rinzky, congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! If you have a picture or video of you riding we'd love to see it! Many folx assume that if they didn't start riding when they were a child it is too late to learn, so we'd love to promote your success if you'd be willing to email us at info@cascade.org.
@@amyk6993 hi Amy i am also trying to learn to ride a bike😁i am 36 years old you never to old to learn something❤ i am glad with your videos i will try later and do exactly what you teach i am from Suriname
I m 67 years old . I never ride a bike before . I thought my children to ride . Now I m going to learn . I will use your tips to start . Wish me luck .
You have the sweetest personality from what I see on this video❤️ thank you so so so much!!! Finally at the age of 28 I’m able to ride the cycle now. So many years of many people tried to teach me and gave up on me. Finally I used your videos and learnt in 4days 🤩🤩🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I really can’t thank you enough!
Hi am 36 yrs old and trying to ride a bike Thanks for the helpful tips... Its my 2day thanks now i learn to ride a bike after... Weeks watching this one and following this video..
Hi Amy !!!! Please please I hope you read this 🥹 I love you soooo much ! N wanted to say thanks ! U know wat, m 40 years old and wanted to live my dream of learning a bike 🥺 my husband struggled with me so much and then we saw your videos! I have seen hundreds of videos to learn but none helped and trust me it was you !!!!! Your video it was and today i am riding my bike!!! 💕💕💕 may God bless you with happiness and fulfill all your dreams! And to everyone out there 4, 14 or 40 ! You can always learn to ride a bike but hardwork and persistence is the key! There are no shortcuts in life and hardwork always pays off ! 👍 best of luck to all !
Thank you Amy. This is a good video. Easy to follow and gets kids and adults up on the bike without much fuzz. My grandson started on a small balance bike and found out about balancing and countersteering all by himself.
I stopped doing it for years. But, i just tried riding my new bike earlier, it feels like first time😅. so happy i learned how to ride again for just 30 mins. 😁🥰
Thank you so much for this lesson. It will be very helpful for me, i am a senior person now learning to ride a bicycle. I will try this way and see how it works out.👍
good video . For many this comes naturally but there are also many many people that do not have good body awareness and for those this simple tutorial can make a big difference in learning . i taught myself how to ride when i was four years old . after a few hours of crashing with cuts and bruises i ran to my mother to tell her the good news . she freaked out when she saw the blood .😂
I did not know where to put my second leg once the first foot was on the pedal. This is the thing no one told me that I needed to be told 😃. Now I put my second feet on the pedal once I find my balance. I can do it more smoothly than I was doing before which helps me keep my balance ☺️☺️☺️
You make it look so easy.. I wish we have more adult beginner bicycle classes here in Los Angeles. You would think we should since the weather is so good in L.A., but I've searched and googled and there's only 1..
45 years old and never learned to ride. Getting comfortable to scoot and coast. Also picking feet up while doing so. I'm just not balanced enough for the next step your showed. I'll get there. I also have to get used to braking, moreso on the rear tire.
I am 18 years old and I was able to pedal today though the years I have been learning but I got haven't been able to do it because of my balance but that is down to my disability but anyway I was able to ride my little brother bike today I been practicing for weeks and was able to do it today but still losing my balance a little but while riding the bike
Hi.. Your videos are really good. What to do if my seat is little high and I can't put my two feet flat and straight on the ground (I can keep only one foot straight and that is also a little tough at first )
If it isn't possible to put both your feet on the ground it would be helpful to find a VERY small hill to use a bit of that gravity to get you going. I'd also work on braking more towards the beginning, to help you feel confident and in-control of that hill.
I've got scoliosis and have struggled with balance issues because of this. I tried riding a bike, but couldn't get good balance, so I've got an adult folding trike which is great to ride but terribly heavy to lift in and out of our house! Just wondered if there is any way I could improve my balance problems, would it work if I tried walking while sitting on a bike as you have demonstrated? I really need some regular good exercise, just wondering how to solve this problem. Thank you so much for your excellent videos!
Hi Amy great video ...trying to bike after 30 years...oufff Was wondering I'm having trouble getting my 2nd leg high enough to pedal I do have a low seat bcs want to sit on seat to touch the ground... How can I get my 2nd foot on pedal when it's at noon? Thnks
Raising your saddle might help a little bit. Try checking out this bike fit video to see what a good saddle height will look like eventually- th-cam.com/video/wK19gJAEzlI/w-d-xo.html. There is no pressure to move it that high right away though- just whatever you are comfortable with. And having it a little heigher will mean your knees don't have to come up so high. other than that, I think working on your leg mobility in general will be helpful- try stretching when you're on the ground and sitting on your bike with a hand on a wall so you can get both your legs on the pedals while you're not moving. Then you can peddle backwards and stretch out those muscles.
Hi Amy, I really like your video. I'm 69, and have two replacement knees. If I have the saddle low I can't bend my knees enough to go over to top of the crank. If I have the saddle up higher then I can't really touch the floor. I haven't ridden two wheels for many years. Help
Hi Mike! Take a look at Louise's comment above and I would recommend many of the same things. While you're working on getting riding again, all the way up to the pedals, keep your seat nice and low. 90% of learning to ride a bike is done before the pedals are on.
Thanks Amy. I am 75 and just purchased an e bike but find I have some mobility issues. I can’t seem to get my leg high enough to put my second foot on the second peddle. Do you have any suggestions. I am probably a little nervous also but want to get over that. I wondered if I get some adult training wheels and also do leg exercises to gain more mobility.

The big thing is: give yourself more time! It might take a couple practice sessions to start to get it, but don't be discouraged! Depending on the style of your bike you may not be able to sit up straight but that it okay! Remember to keep your weight heavy on your seat and your core engaged so your arms can be nice and loose.
Hi i have a problem when im scooting with my right foot on one pedal when im ready to put the other foot on the pedal the bike would suddenly go slant im trying to pull it up again while scooting but i just fell how to fix it
Hi Janielle! That is a sign that you may not be ready for that second foot yet- which is totally okay! Go back to pushing off with just the one foot, making sure you're giving a big push and can glide the rest of the distance before using your hand brakes. Make sure you can go the whole distance after that first big push. Doing this on a slight decline would be helpful as well. Once that becomes very comfortable, go down the incline again and now try with that second foot.
Nothing is wrong with you, sometimes it just takes more time! Remember to relax your body, keep your eyes up, and just have fun scooting and practicing. You will get there!
Please don't feel discouraged! Everyone learns at different paces! Remember to keep your body loose and keep your eyes up. If you start getting too tense or frustrated, just take a break for the day. Learning to ride should be fun and not a punishment. You will get there!
Some do when they are young but you can totally learn to ride as an adult on a bike that is your size! We recommend taking off the pedals when you start so you can really practice balancing first

Taking the knee high is really really difficult and it's easy to lose balance for beginners during that motion. It's better to start from a position where only the toe tips touches the ground while you are on the saddle. That way it will be easier to use the second pedal straightaway. Scooting on a single pedal is really really difficult and anyone preaching it to people who are starting off is making things really difficult. Please stop.
Hi Vivek! Everyone learns differently so that could be a really helpful tip for some people! I've often noticed that when adults are learning for the first time it takes quite a bit to become comfortable with your feet not being able to reach the ground fully. The 'high knee' motion is definitely a lot more clumsy when you start but it helps folks to feel more secure with the saddle lower. If starting off with a higher saddle works for you and the folx you've taught, more power to you! Congratulations!
Scooting a single pedal isn't that difficult. I learned how to bike in three one-hour attempts. Third one was the charm, I unknowingly picked an alley with a slight down slope; gaining a bit of speed after my initial push helped me figure out stability. Even with a lower bike seat, once I had balance figured out, pedaling was a breeze.

Hi Amy, I am following your tutorials.. just in 1 class learn balancing with out peddle . Tomorrow will learn lesson 3
At the age of 25 I finally learnt how to ride a cycle tho it's really hard to ride in heavy traffic but it's fun! :)
I did not know where to put my second leg once the first foot was on the pedal. This is the thing no one told me that I needed to be told 😃.
Now I put my second feet on the pedal once I find my balance. I can do it more smoothly than I was doing before which helps me keep my balance ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks now all my friends and family knows how to ride a bike

learnt a lot from the tips you gave. What about maintaining a straight line, any advice on that?
thank you for your three vedios helped me a lot to start biking.
can i aske you about how to lubricate the bike chain.and when
Hi fahemma! I'm glad they helped. We have a video on our instagram that goes over how to clean your bike chain and when- good question!
I've got scoliosis and have struggled with balance issues because of this. I tried riding a bike, but couldn't get good balance, so I've got an adult folding trike which is great to ride but terribly heavy to lift in and out of our house!

Does it make a difference?
No difference at all! Start with whatever foot you feel most comfortable and after that you can start with whichever one you like :)
Bahut acche
