Techniques to get your child riding in no time

If you don't aim to be on a cycling competition donning the best cycling jerseys,even if a child doesn't own a bike, he will do all his best just to get a grip at those handlebars. try the following techniques to get your child riding in no time.

As early as you can; buy your child a tricycle even before he can walk. Try pushing the tricycle slowly so that your child will learn how to steer. And when he gets older, eventually he will learn how to pedal. Even if they still can't wear cycling jerseys, be sure to put on protective helmets on. The main rule with tricycles is not to let your child ride on hilly areas. Tricycles are mostly made of plastics and without good brakes, there's a high tendency for a child to flip over when not closely watched.

You can start right away with small bikes with training wheels. Even if it's the slowest way to get your child learning how to bike, it is by far the safest of all methods on flat grounds. Adjust the training wheels in a way that a bike will lean a bit. Secretly do the adjusting so that your child won't notice the difference. This is the fastest way to teach him balance and in no time you will cycle around town in your best cycling jerseys.

Scooters are excellent alternatives to training wheels. This is because your child will be able to concentrate more on how to balance rather than focus his mind on learning how to pedal at the same time. Try getting a scooter with hand brakes for him to learn braking basics just like with a bike. After learning balance on a scooter, a child still has to learn how to pedal. This can be done easily by adjusting the bike seat as low as you can. And before you know it, you're child will be ready to wear his first cycling jerseys.

If scooters and training wheels won't do, then use the traditional way to teach cycling- running along with your child. Some experts say that you should hold the child's shoulders but I am not very confident about it. Or, you can hold the handlebars on the side or the saddle. Just remember to hold lightly to allow your child to learn proper balance. This technique can be very tiring yet it is still the fastest way for you and your child to be on biking competitions in your best cycling jerseys.

Teaching your child how to bike is very exciting. However, don't be too frustrated when he won't learn as fast as other children can. Patience is still the best attitude and when your child learns how to bike, don't ever let him ride just on plain shirts but in best cycling jerseys.
