how do I ride a bicycle?
p/s: i know this is long and boring. but pls read and help me out pls?
hi im 13 and am learning how to cycle
today i used the bicycle with 2 trainer wheels at the back for A LITTLE WHILE, then went to try the normal bike.
my problem is that once i start pedalling, AND BEFORE I EVEN FINISH ONE COMPLETE PEDAL, my bike will slant to the left and my right feet (or both) will NATURALLY get down and touch the ground.
i then start pedalling on the bike all over again and the vicious cycle continues =_=
so, i did not get anything done! sighs.
my sis’s bf kept telling me to pull the handles into a balanced position in the centre, or make the bike turn right when that happens. i tried endless times and my attempts were disappointingly futile
can give me advice on this?
i know many people are going to tell me to continue using the trainer wheels. yea im going to do that. so can you also tell me how to see when is the right time i can try the normal bike? as in how do i tell if my cycling has matured to a time when i can "promote" to a normal bike?
thanks! ![]()
to mr happy: heyyy my sis’s bf also used his guitar problems to analyse like this! freaky
if u keep trying training wheels, see how long u can ride without either of the training wheels touching the ground. also see if you can start pedaling with out the training wheels hitting the ground.
eventually the training wheels will have to come off the bike, so dont be shy about taking them off. when you do take them off, you will have balance problems at first. thats what the training wheel are supposed to help u with, they give u a chance to learn of to balance without falling on ur face a Immediately.
also check ur bike see if the back wheel rubs against the bike when spinning. this can cause ur bike to want to slow down or tip over and might screw u up.
anyways it takes practice, but once u figure out how to ride ull never have to figure it out again, i gets stuck in your head.
ur probably better off without training wheels. instead u should wear padding and let ur self fall to the ground when ur bike tips, until u figure out how to counter it. don’t put ur foot down. resist the urge!!
Just keep trying on two wheels without the trainer wheels and you will get it!

hello
Im not a bicycle expert or anything, but in generall e.g when i learned guitar, there where also many problems i had to overcome. But since i tried many different things, from taping some of my fingers to parts of the guitar to using different kinds of picks, eventually I just found the right technique. So what im saying is find all possible causes of that happening to you, and try to do something about all of them, and just keep on trying without the wheels.
gd luck

Try this, many people have learned how to ride a bike by lowering the seat so that you can touch the ground untill you learn to balance.
