A balance bike is a great way to teach your child to ride a bike.
Follow GCN on RU-vid: gcn.eu/gcnsubs
A balance bike is the best starting point when your child is learning to ride a bike. Daniel Lloyd taught his son Jude how to ride a balance bike. It's in the name: a balance bike makes a great starting point as it teaches your kid how to balance on a bike. Once your child can use a balance bike, the transition to an actual bike will be much simpler as the only skill that they'll need to acquire is pedalling.

This video still tracks! Thanks Dan from 10 years ago 🎉 my 6 year old son had a scooter and didn't want to ride his bike. After getting him a new bike for Christmas and spending hours trying to get him to ride we watched your video. After pulling the pedals and cranks off an old bike we made him an over sized balance bike. After a couple of days of figuring out the balance we reintroduce the pedal bike and he got it! Wow! From not being able to Thursday to flying down the road Sunday. THANK YOU!

@Yeeesh666 10 лет назад

notice how happy he looks when he's riding, this is great stuff. I learnt to ride a bike going down the side of my house on the grass over and over and over when i was about 8 or 9 worst thing a parent can do though, is try to limit your riding time my mum did this to me, now I haven't spoken to her in years. i knows its a bit off subject, but i'd like to see some tips for teenagers/high school kids who are starting to realise they got a bit of talent/enjoyment out of riding. It's the one things they don't teach us in schools at least in Australia at least.

Wonderful video! The gentleman has a superb delivery and an absolutely delightful way of explaining. Incidentally, the information is accurate, valid, practical and useful. Thanks, mate.

Merry Christmas everyone at GCN, Dan, your son is adorable. Hope you all had a lovely day today.

@peterfranzjr.1190 3 года назад

@Lloyd, this is awesome to see. My oldest son is 2 1/2 now and I am going back to this video to get him ready to ride with me

@djsickmick 7 лет назад

Fantastic demo! Thank you! My son always wants to go for a ride on "Daddy's bike" in his child seat which I have on the rear rack of my old fart Roam 2 made by Giant. No slap meant toward the bike. It's a fantastic hybrid that suits my needs for carrying a baby on the back rack in his seat. These tips have helped him ride solo as he still is apprehensive to crank his tricycle pedals. A cool thing about cycling is that is contagious, and that your little ones catch the fever. I looked at some previous comments on kid's bikes. I didn't have a balance bike when I was a tike but I found myself on a sponsored BMX bike by Mongoose when I was 11. Riding a bike is pure fun. I think that it's good to let your kids in on it fast.

@keinepinghits8145 4 года назад

Still remember my dad teaching me how to ride a bike, and he just flat out refused to have training wheels on it, instead supporting my shoulders, and then eventually just taking his hands off. Got a couple bloody knees that way, but it did work quite well...

+Global Cycling Network See below. Many of us who can't afford (as do not have permission from the mrs.) to buy a new carbon bling bike instead focus on our kid's biking experience. Need an update from GCNs youngest guest presenter.

@rexsongodinho5623 7 лет назад

When I was 9 there were no strider bikes like this. I used to ride my neighbor's bicycle I fell many time but I never stopped trying and my hard work pays off. Here I'm a rider now!!

Heartwarming. Parenthood is one of the best things ever

@zxtenn 10 лет назад

He's a natural--I remember myself with what are called training wheels in the US but then [about 1960] such small bikes weren't around so I started maybe 4-5? Actually it's decent out so maybe I will take my CAAD10 out for a ride???

@everaldosantos2728 10 лет назад

Perfect Dan,good idea,i'll do it to my daughter.

@roxic1212 8 лет назад

That boy is so cute.

@Weberseon 10 лет назад

In my experience, you should skip the training wheels if the kid is comfortable on the balance bike. The training wheels do not allow leaning into a turn. Just make sure the kid can place the feet on the ground when sitting on the saddle.

@TheMalteseVegan 9 лет назад

I was thought with the side wheels slightly raised... so i still had a safety net but to ride comfortably i still had to balance.

@ceilid 5 лет назад

Thank you for this great video! Would anyone have tips what to do, if my (almost 3 y.o.) daughter does not understand that she has to SIT on the seat? Instead she just walks with her balance bike between her legs. And when I try to explain, she just says that she can't ride it and gives up. ( I have recently adjusted the seat a bit higher, will try if it helps over this weekend...)

You can use Unflexal instructions to learn about workouts guys.

@DutchKid121 10 лет назад

As a Dutch person, I got my first bike when I was two and got the training wheels removed when I was four. I didn't use these two methods, just get on and ride.

@Tony-ml5bs 9 лет назад

I was about 8 when I learned. There was this rusty iron horse bike in my house that was about 4 inches shorter than me a full sized bike. And to get on I would get a chair and hop on it, to get off I crash into a wall. After I learned to ride it I slowly started to work my way I get off of the bike. 10 years later I'm still riding that Same bike today:) but I cleaned it up so no more rust ;D

@MY-sb5qp 10 лет назад

Great video. Thanks for posting. Question, is there an "appropriate" age to introduce a balance bike? My son's a little over 2 years old (26 months). Thanks again.

@angelguevara1418 4 года назад

I didn’t even have a balance bike or training wheels. All I did was hop on and on the first try I took off. I was 4. Now at 21 I sprint through the bike trails like crazy and when I pass by I see parents teaching their kids how to ride. I’m like...ha I wonder how it feels to do that.

@TravellingGurus 8 лет назад

Fantastic video! We chose the Kazam balance bike and our kids really love it! Even though they could ride a real bike, they choose the balance bike some of the time b/c it's so much fun!

@e.458 2 года назад

Funny, where I come from, these kick bikes are less of a teaching tool but rather a legitimate mode of transport, freeing parents from having to push prams or having to walk at a snails pace. However, you do sometimes see parents running and shouting in panic while their kids are fast approaching the next curb to a busier street. Somehow the kids never fail to stop last second.

@tikesbikes3586 9 лет назад

"We always recommend that you start your child with a balance bike, even if they are 2 1/2 years old or 8 years old. Of course, you can't get balance bikes for 8 year olds." We absolutely agree but there are balance bikes for kids of all ages (even 8 year olds). Look for a 16" or 20" balance bike made by TykesBykes, Glide Bikes and Strider Sports.

@ashlynkraus8827 8 лет назад

Where can you buy a Giro or TdF jersey for kids that young? I would love to purchase some for my kiddos. My 3-year old daughter, who's currently learning to ride her balance bike, loves to wear my cycling jerseys as heir night gown. TIA

This video says "Of course you can't get balance bikes for 8 year olds." Actually, the Go Glider company makes a 16" wheel model for kids in sizes 5 to 10 and they also make an adult version. Just wanted to comment since we just started my 5 year old (size 8 clothes) on one.

@debitothward3132 3 месяца назад

Get your kid a tricycle first so he can learn to pedal. Then a balance bike. Then, Vuela!!!

@markb.9910 2 месяца назад

@posterlion 6 лет назад

You don't need to teach your kid to ride a balance bike. They'll figure it out on their own. OK, i did give my daughter two, maybe three pushes when I first gave her the balance bike, but that's it. I bought it for her at 18 months. The two or three pushes scared her and I didn't want her to be scared of the bike. So I let it go forever, but she loved the bike! What happened next? She loved the bike to the point of wanting to see it in the bedroom as she fell asleep. She would ride the bike around inside the house, we let her do it. This went on for a year. Mostly, she'd sit on it while watching cartoons, picking up one leg, then the other, checking the balance. 18 months later, she ran into the house saying, "Daddy Daddy, come look outside. I followed her out and she demonstrated she could ride the bike down the hill of our driveway. Well done, I said, "well done!"

@NeoDerGrose 7 лет назад

My dad made us start with a scooter. Not one of those modern city scooters, but a proper children scooter with a front brake and air tires. We never ever used the balancers included with our first bike. Sure, I landed on my face once, bleeding a lot, but who doesn't. For me it was the perfect way to get my balance and learn how to ride a bike.
