How To Ride A Bike?

[Guest ihatestanwood]

Can any one here give me tips on how to ride a bike. I just got a bike for my birthday and im 16 but I was never taught how to ride one. Anything will help

I never learned how to ride a bike too, around here it is 4 wheelers not bikes that we would ride as kids.

 

Good luck in trying but I think it is something that someone has to be there to teach you and not tell you how over the Internet.

Will you have to learn like a bird learns how to fly. Just jump on the bike and go down the steepest hill you can find.

When you learning keep going fast so you dont lose your balance. It gets really easy after a while

Get some training wheels and learn to Balance it's quite easy

Don't tense, relax everything, and remember that you have to be moving to balance... and you'll have to go quite quickly at first to balance so don't be scared.

Hmm.. if you're not afraid of looking stupid you could get some stabilisers for it and learn that way. If not its just a simple case of slowly getting acustomed to it, going further and further until you can go as far as you want.

Big empty parking lots are a big help. I used to go to some distibution center in my neighborhood on the weekends when nobody was there.

I know I learned how to ride a bike when I was pretty young, but my neighbors had a hill that I would ride down and try keeping my balance. Try on grass first so you dont scrap yourself up too bad if you fall alot. Speed is what keeps you balanced so dont be going too slow or your just gonna fall over. Good Luck!!!

What ever you do, dont stand on the handle bars and the seat at the same time until you are really good, also don't ride down stairs, you will flip, hit your head and go into shock. Also dont swerve into trees going 30mph. Dont jump over a hole 5 ft deep with no ramp. Dont ride into a lake. Dont ride under a street sign and hit your head. Dont fall off going down a hill and scrape all the skin off your sholder, exposing the bone. Dont hit your front brakes going really fast. Dont hit a big rock going really fast. Dont run itnto the back of a van going really fast. And dont eat nachoes while riding. There are more, but I dont remembur them right now (I liek haed injuieez ).

 

:Edit: When doing stupid things on a bike do so within close proximity of a nurse whenever posible. Dont do stupid things on a bike. Dont do what I do. I am an idiot.

Speaking from experience there...

 

I just ride my bike around to have fun, not to nearly kill myself or anything.

But its so much more fun, when you nearly kill yourself. I promise I will have more by the end of the summer.
