Kids Bikes - Teaching Them To Ride - Advice Needed
Hi, so ......my baby girl is now going to be 5. She's tall, funny, and has the attention span of a squirrel during acorn season. Bought her a good bike that fits her, and will put her in a helmet, strap some gloves onto her tiny hands, and maybe encase her in a football (American) outfit for padding. ​
Actually, got a great deal on Costco for $280, overnight shipped, and no tax. A lot of a kid's bike, but it sure is swell, and a lot less expensive than the last pair of cycling shoes her Daddy bought. https://www.prioritybicycles.com/products/startfw2 Are there any good videos on YouTube, or words of wisdom before I put her on the bike and pray she doesn't run into pedestrians, small dogs, or motor vehicles? The brakes are hand brakes, the bars are upright, but still....should I wait another year to teach her, or just take her to a grassy hill in her padded outfit and hope for the best? Would like her to enjoy cycling, but want to ease her safely into it. We've watched a lot of women's cyclocross races in person, we've watched a lot of women's racing online, now it's time for her to spin those 4" cranks and be free! Any advice, jokes (good or bad) will be greatly appreciated! Thanks Last edited by 19wisconsin64; 10-23-2021 at 07:37 AM. |
