How Do You Teach A Child To Ride A Bike Using The “Grassy Slope” Method?
• Lower the bike seat so that your child can put both feet flat on the ground. • Hold the bike at the top of the grassy slope, while your child straddles the seat and puts both feet on the ground. • Assure your child that you’ll hold the seat until the bike gets moving. • Tell your child to put both feet back down on the ground if it wobbles too much. • Go for it! After a few successful runs, tell your child to coast down with his feet on the pedals, but not yet pedaling. • Raise the seat so that the child’s knees are slightly bent at the bottom of the pedaling cycle. • Tell your child to pedal down the slope. Awesome! Your child is riding a bike!
