Have any advice on teaching my daughter on how to ride a bicycle?

Question

I'm an adult that hasn't ridden a bike in quite some time , but my twelve-year-old daughter wants to learn. We never bothered teaching her when she was younger since the streets were we used to live was a high traffic area and just to dangerous. Now we live in a safer place, but the problem is she's embarrassed and doesn't want to be seen having a hard time trying to ride (she really doesn't want to be seen with her mother trying to teach her either). Any advice?

Answer 1

well i suggest she goes somewhere were n ot a lot of people go by, maybe your backyard and just try to go. you could hold her and help her balance, scrapes and bruises are guaranteed

Answer 2

Well she's way too old for training wheels so just take her to a church or school parking lot in the earlly evening and let her go at it. She will pick it up in no time.

Make sure she has a proper fitting helmet.

Answer 3

Have her friend teach her or her Dad.

Answer 4

You should try to teach her some place were people don't really pass by alot, such as a parking lot. And teach her in the evening so there is a large guarantee that there will be no one there.
