How to Ride a Bicycle

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Jeff from the Two Wheeler Dealer, and I'm going to show you how to ride a bicycle. To start with, definitely let's hit all the safety aspects. Helmet, elbow pads, knee pads. You might want to try it off the road in a grass field to begin with. You could also, if you're not familiar or comfortable, definitely get some training wheels on your bike. To begin, you're just going to simply mount the bike, swing your leg over, sit on the seat, feet on the pedals, hands on the handlebars. You're going to want to push off with one foot, get the bike moving, and then you can pick your foot up, put it on the pedals, and basically just begin pedaling the bike while trying to maintain proper balance. Typically the faster that you're moving, the easier it is to balance the bike. So if you do begin to slow down and get wobbly, best thing to do is just try and maintain a steady pedaling speed. It should help you maintain your balance on the bike. If you do all of these things properly, you should be riding a bike in no time. That's how to ride a bike."
