Bicycle Riding Learning Tips for Children

Learning to Ride

A child's work is play. Learning to ride a bike should be a natural extension of that play. It is one of the great moments of childhood, the sudden discovery that you can ride a bike, the sense of triumph at being able to propel yourself along.
