I Need help with riding a bike!! help please?!?!?

Question

ok, so I learned how to ride a bike less than a week ago. I'm 16 years old, and my boyfriend and our other close friend taught me. I'm trying as hard as I can to get used to it, but today I attempted riding into town and everything was going ok, but then i kinda sorta HIT my boyfriends sister. I feel so bad and I'm afraid to try riding again, but I still want to ride. Help me, please?

Answer 1

molly, first I hope your boyfriend's sister is ok. second, take your new skills and practice them in a park, parking lot, or other open area, at a time when there aren't a lot of people around. work on your manuevering and braking! set up a small obstacle course, and ride it progressively faster. your boyfriend will probably go with you if you ask, and continue to coach you. this should help boost your confidence!
