Do you still remember your first bike ride like if it were yesterday? Years are running fast and now the time has come to pass the skills onto the next generation. Luckily, there are some new training methods, so let us guide you through the learning process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Balance Bike<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can start teaching children riding on a balance bike already at the age of 2,5 years. This type of bike helps children grasp the concepts of balance and steering. In the beginning, the kids will still heavily rely on the support of their feet, like when walking. Slowly and bit by bit, start lifting the height of the seat with every lesson so the kids will need to lift their heels off the ground when saddling up. Tell them to raise their knees and let the feet hover a bit. You will see how fast they\u2019ll gain the skills for a well-balanced ride.<\/p>\n
