Fear gives you shakes, makes you wobble, makes you fall off. Find a nice
grassy oval and fall off at low speed. See how it doesn't hurt. It's harder to ride on grass but it doesn't hurt. TB (mixing it up) You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Yeah - that's what I ended up doing with my son, but I did that after he had got the basics (of me holding onto his collar running along side on the footpath). I should take my daughter down - we have an oval 50 metres away so I should Cheers, Tim You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Your lucky, My wife won't even go near a bike, I've been trying for ages to get her to come for a ride, and as far as I know she can ride a bike as she used to ride a bike where she came from (Japan) but she only sees a bicycle as a mode of transport to go from a-b and back and not something to be used for recreational purposes. Even when i mention the word bike, it's like "forget it"!! Maybe I should get a copy of a book called 'how to hypnotise chooks' put her in a trance..............nah, she wouldn't listen to me anyway..........sigh!! :-( You must Sign in before you can post messages.
