While bicycle training may not seem like an important
life lesson it can certainly be a
step towards developing a positive self-image in an
uplifting environment. If done
correctly bicycle training can be a momentous life event
full of positive energy
and can lead to many years of fun riding experiences as
a family.
Unfortunately, most kids learn to ride bicycles using
training wheels. The
downside to training wheels is that they do not teach
kids how to ride at all,
and once the training wheels are removed they have to
learn all over again.
For kids and adults, it can be frustrating.
About ten years ago I discovered a method for
teaching kids as
young as
TWO YEARS OLD how to ride a bike with
NO TRAINING
WHEELS.
I and several of my friends have found the benefits of
the
this method to be great. Children applying the method
are
able to safely learn to ride a bike at a much earlier
age
than those
using traditional training wheels. In addition,
they enjoy many other positive benefits including:

 |
- Positive Self-Esteem
- Fun for Kids,
- Easy for Parents
- Physical Activity
- Many years of fun riding experiences as a
family
As my children were
experiencing the joys of riding a bike and
I shared the method with my friends, I looked everywhere
for
information on the subject. I was surprised by how
little there
was out there. That experience led me to write "Learning
to Ride with “The Bits”
"Learning to Ride with “The Bits” is a story
book based on my family’s experience of learning how to
ride a bicycle. This entertaining book will guide you
and your child through the basic steps of the training
process. It’s a great way to include the activity of
learning to ride with bed time reading, and a great way
to spend time with your children.
Welcome to the site, take the time to visit our No
Training Wheels Community Forum, check out upcoming
training events, get the latest product and safety news
on my blog, or take home something special from the
store. I look forward to helping you and your child grow
together.
