Have you taught an adult to cycle? Maybe you've recently learned to ride? Let us know in the comments ⬇

I am 12 year old and today I learn how to ride a cycle in only 10 minute

27yrs old and watching this learning how to ride :)

I looked at this video for 2 minutes, 5 minutes later suddenly I know how to bike. I’m a 15 yr old so I wanted to learn to bike to friends/ school.

(and wear a helmet)

The realest video i have watched about learning a bicycle

I did it!

I am 18 years old, and I never rode a bike. It was kind of a bad childhood. Two weeks ago, I saw one of my friends in college riding one, and it looked very fun. I was thinking that I don't want to die without giving it a try.

So I talked to him and said that I never rode one. He started laughing and thought I was joking. He was in shock when he realized that I wasn't joking. After that, he and some other friends encouraged me to buy one, so I did.

The first day of learning how to ride didn't go smoothly. It hurt to sit on the bike, and I couldn't move it. My friends started teaching me for about three hours, and then I started going in a straight line with the bike. It was a huge process for me, and after that, I fell and hurt my hand. It was very painful, and I could barely sleep that night.

For a few days, I couldn't ride it because of my hand. Then I kept training with my friends, and I fell and hurt myself many times. It really wasn't easy.

Today at 12 am, when I was about to sleep, I looked at the sky from my window, and I felt a weird positive energy. I took my bike and rode it. I was scared, but I did it anyway. I was heading to the beach near my home, and I was riding it well somehow, although I was very scared. After some time, I stopped and called my friends. I told them that I was going to the beach by bike. They thought I was joking since it was the middle of the night. I sent them a picture, and they were in shock. It was hilarious.

Then they woke up, took their bikes, and followed me. We rode together, and it was like a dream for me two weeks ago. It was unforgettable memories. I am glad that I didn't give up learning and trying.

It was completely worth it! :)

I'm not 😂😢😢😢

To all the anxious adults that can't ride a bike, I promise you can overcome the fear and you can do it. Yesterday I learnt to ride a bike, following the advice in this video. It took me about one hour, I still can't stop very good, but I keep practicing!

Learning to ride at aged 35. Ain't easy.

I'll record my progress here...

Day 1 - Motivated, Nervous, Tried balancing and half pedaling. Lost balance everytime but I'm making some progress.

I learned to ride a bike as a child when a childhood friend decided to make fun of me by pushing the bike while im seated in it without me knowing. With the adrenaline rush, my sense of balance came out naturally and my body’s coordination with regards to steering and pedaling suddenly come into fruition. from there on I started to ride a bicycle.

I guilt trip my dad for not teaching me to ride a bike when i was a child. I manage him to teach me at the age of 21. 9 months later i bought my own motorbike hahahaha

I started today I hope that learn quickly

One thing that always held back is the constant taunting by my own father that I'm useless and still ride a bike.... Every time I hear this it gives me constant headaches and soo much of self doubt and anxiety.... I'm glad to see many people of my age can't ride a bike as well

im here because i will be attempting to teach my 28 years old gf how to ride a bike.

I'm 40. I really want to learn to ride a bike .

I’ve just bought a bike and helmet to start to learn a bike ! Now is the time I’m 70 next !!! 😊

Beautiful bike. Came packaged well. Had a neighborhood bike shop install for me.

The music is really unnecessary and distracting. Otherwise great tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you very much for this tutorial, the scooting advice was invaluable! I would have not intuitively thought of that. I have taught my fiancee today to ride a bike following your instructions and it worked amazingly. It took her 1 hour to start pedaling all by herself. She is 28 years old. ❤

Potrebbe aggiungere i sottotitoli in italiano?? Grazie

I hate u

Super

Hi. I'm trying to teach my wife. We bought a second hand bike and started practices. Her bike has shock absorbers so the seat does not go below a certain level and its feet do not touch the ground. Therefore, he cannot sit and pedal in the first place. Will this prevent him from learning?

as someone whose parents didnt even really try to teach me how to ride a bike and is now trying to learn on their own as an adult, all i can say is parents should really make that effort whether their kid is enthusiastic about it or not. Its feels genuinely humiliating to practice balancing and working my way towards pedaling in a straight line as a 24 year old in front of a bunch of people at the park, but I'm still gonna try cause I really feel like I would enjoy riding one around and not want to drive anymore if I could just get comfortable with it first.

Girls feel physical sensations moving their ass on the saddle

If you can't ride a bike, you definitely need a helmet.

I am so glad I thougt I was the only one! And indeed of the embarassement I did not made my biking hours to feel confident.

I am glad to read there is still hope for me at 47.

Missed it a lot!

Going to use this as a reference :) I’m learning on my own, so going to adapt this for being solo

I'm 12 but learning now

My family was very poor growing up, living in a bad neighborhood, in an apartment complex run by a tyrannical octogenarian. My bike was stolen not long after I started trying to learn how to ride, and the opportunity never came up again.

I’m 16 and I always worry I feel people will laugh

I always want to learn but I find it hard to balance

I can't hear well because of the music.

How can I be a special bicycle queue and I want how to know how to attend not international times

my one critique for this video is the editing. increase the dialogue volume or cut out the cheesy music altogether. the instructor was in-audible.

I've just bought an ebike and haven't ridden a bike for decades. I couldn't remember how to mount and dismount the bicycle and toppled over twice. This You Tube guide has helped me greatly. I am persevering and can now mount, dismount and ride it. I just need to develop my confidence and get used to the traffic around me, so I aim to do regular practice to continue to progress.

The problem i m facing is that when i was maybe 9,10 or 11 years old i learned to ride cycle almost perfectly at first i learned to ride in open areas as well as in difficult roads and small streets but now i m 16 and when i tried to balance on the motorcycle i was not able to.I practiced with my father(1st day of practice) it improved a little bit still i m not able to balance it.I don't know why i m not able ti balance it infact i learned ti balance it perfectly.Well now i m doing some practice keep my balance.

Helmet missing

Can everyone regardless of their weights ride a bike? I rlly wanna ride one uk and I'm a teenager but a lil overweight i love myself but ppl around me keeps demotivating me

Thank you for this. My uni friend wants me to teach him and I am a bit nervous. Such a helpful tutorial.

As I kid I was always afraid to ride a bicycle. My parents bought me a bicycle when I turned 5 but I never rode it . Then in 8th grade they again bought me a bigger one hoping that I might ride this time but again I was too afraid to ride . Then when I went to highschool my mom gifted me a motorcycle and even paid for riding classes but I even failed to clear those . Fast forward last year eventually at the age of 23 I finally got over my fear and learned to ride motorcycle. It's Ben a year since I'm riding motorbike & now I've decided to learn to ride bicycle too .

I feel too proud of myself ❤

still in the middle of it. I struggle with balancing and keeping my head ahead.

Lol im a teen watching this bc i never learned when i was younger

Alright great! ... Now I need a bike :/

This is my third time to ride bicycle, honestly it's frustating 😭

Thank you so much! This video helped me a lot and I'm sharing this to my friends and family who are willing to learn how to ride a bike!

There are many people who will laugh on you but just ignore them and motivate yourself I had learned at the age of 12 Day 1 first time I was nervous but I was not scared motivated by some people Day2 embarassed by someone peoples but I remembered about the people who motivated me and keep going Day3 I was progressing slowly and in these way many days past I had taken a lot of time to learn but after learning it was a nice experience because when other people will try to embarrase others who can't ride you can help them motivate them.

the easiest way to ride a bike

1) Put one foot on the peddle and with the other push off

2) If you feel like your gonna fall or lean just turn the bicycle
