How to ride a bike.
Have you ever wondered how to ride a bike? Are you embarrassed by not knowing how? Well, stop worrying because I’ll give you all of the information you will need in order to get started. The first thing about riding a bike is safety. Secondly, making sure your bike is ready for the road. And lastly, the best way to begin.
Safety is always first when riding a bike. You need to wear a helmet, it’s required by law. If you think that you will be falling a lot in the beginning, get some more gear. Elbow and knee pads are highly recommended. Also, try to wear bright colors such as pink, yellow, and orange so that everyone will be able to see you. Don’t wear clothing that will be able to get stuck on your bike. Try not to ride in the dark, if you must, you will need to be sure that you have 2 reflectors on your bike, one in the front and another in the back.   This brings us right into the next subject, making sure your bike is right for you.
You should be sure that your bike is worthy for the road. Step one: If you sit on the bike and you cannot reach the ground then it is too big for you. You must either lower the seat and adjust the handle bars or get a smaller bicycle. If while riding your knees hit the handle bars, then the bike is too small. You must either higher the seat and handle bars or get a larger bicycle. Step 2: Check your brakes. You never want to get caught in a situation where you cannot stop because your breaks don’t work. Step 3: Check the air in your tires. Put the tires in a tub of water, if you see air bubbles then you know that your tire is damaged. Simply bring it to the bicycle shop. Once you are done checking your bike you are ready to begin learning how to ride.
When you are a beginner I suggest starting with training wheels. It may feel childish but it’s a good learning tool. If you do not feel comfortable with training wheels, start without pedals. Just use your feet and begin to push yourself along. This will help...
