Adult Learns to Ride a Bike for the First Time!

[@grenoblegirl]

A good teacher, supportive friends, and an adult willing to try something new on camera!?!?! - Prakshi is a rockstar and this video is my new favorite.

[@eyrodriguezart]

I’m 33 and I’m learning how to ride a bike too!

[@rei]

Nice, Senia! 🙌 We hope everything is coasting along nicely, but if you'd fancy some one-on-one instruction, we've got you covered: bit.ly/3P9B07P

[@Switzerlandlifestyle]

I’m 30 , & today I have tried for the first time, hope I can do it

[@ichamhmd3563]

aahhh cant wait, i'll learning bike tomorrow. wish me luck😢

[@glitterbabi1]

No classes near me😢

[@thenormalberries6767]

How’s your progress??

[@bijanka]

Yay, Prakshi! I learned how to ride a bike in my late 20's. I never had access to safe, bikeable outdoor spaces and someone to teach me until well into adulthood. I appreciate REI shedding stigma around adults learning these types of skills.

[@rei]

That's awesome! We're glad you enjoyed the video!

[@rantsnwhatnot]

First off, big props to Prakshi for sharing her learning process. It can be scary to be a beginner, so thanks for letting us see your first bike ride! And also the enthusiasm of everyone watching was adorable :D

[@rei]

Yes to all of this! 👏 We appreciate your kudos!

[@emorypowell2919]

Prakshi done a beautiful job learning how to ride a bike for the first time she’s so happy. Good job Kevin.

[@MeronAwraris-y5z]

I am 37 and never ridden a bike ,this gives me hope,thank you!!

[@ece.a]

I have learned to ride a horse at 30 and a bike at 38! You can do it :)

[@心向共和]

现在学会了吗？

[@thedivabetic]

I haven't seen that technique to teach someone how to ride, this is a great strategy!!

[@rei]

Getting comfortable balancing is the key!

[@coreysuffield]

this is also how they teach people to ride motorcycles

[@jordynchan5103]

This is so encouraging. I'm 31 and I never had a bike growing up except for a toy tricycle, and am going to sign up for a beginners' cycling class in April. I held off on it too long out of fear of embarrassment and that I was "too old to learn", but it was something I always wanted to do and I figured it was now or never.

[@umbTraining]

Congrats Prakshi. Made it look easy. We all need a Kevin in our lives.

[@Lina.S83]

Great motivational video 🤩 I'm 40 and still struggling to learn how to bike. Have had several failed attempts because I can't find a proper instructor like Joe here 😢 But this video inspired and motivated me.. I even cried when she started paddling with her friends cheering her on. I hope I will succeed like her 🙏🏻

[@santanu-fr]

Have you made any progress. I'm trying to learn by myself

[@Lina.S83]

@santanusk2853 I'm also trying to learn by myself and still with no progress unfortunately 😓

[@santanu-fr]

@@Lina.S83 was really hoping for some progress. Keep at it

[@Lina.S83]

Thanks! I'm still scared of falling so I'm very stressed and all tensed while on the bike which doesn't help at all. I hope it will eventually work for both of us 🤞🏻🙏🏻

[@carolbaskin1857]

I’m convinced it’s impossible for me to learn someone tried to teach me last summer and I still can’t

[@SpeedyColaGaming]

I’m 24 and I’m just learning how to ride a bike and seeing other adults who don’t know how to ride makes me feel better on just learning how to ride a bike 😁

[@bailahie4235]

The enthusiasm of "the Crazy Guy" is contagious! 😄

[@vidavirginia2199]

Im in my 40ths and start learning how to ride a bike :.im like Roxi ..but i did it in the first day of practice im super excited to be able to ride with people to the park ..👏🏼thanks for the video

[@santanu-fr]

Can you explain how you got to stop the cycle from tilting. I'm trying to learn by myself & all I've managed are groin pains.

[@astral7919]

If everyone has encouraging coach like Kevin we all can learn something new that too quickly

[@alnorman4802]

I like to format of the video, It feels like a TV home makeover show😄

[@riteshraiharikarai3441]

What is the name of this cycle?

[@kgajasan]

I’m 36 and I’m going to learn how to bike soon. Thanks for the video. Kinda boosted my motivation to do it

[@alonefrootloop4853]

Absolutely so proud of Prakshi!! I’m getting ready to transfer to a bigger university and wanted to learn to ride a bike to get around campus. I’m 20 and only got to where my parents loosened my training wheels. This video makes it look easier than I thought. Thank I appreciate you being so patient and encouraging as well as Prakshi having the courage to be filmed learning a new skill! 💕

[@NiaWilliamsMoyo]

She did so well! I got a bike from REI four months ago and im finallly taking it out of the box to learn 😩 i hope i can do half as well as she did!

[@feralkat9370]

I've got a bike for over a year with the intention of learning to ride but it just sits there staring at me. Inspired by Prakshis efforts. Let's see. Lol

[@Scott-J]

Oh Lexington P... Lexington Park! I happen to live like 6 blocks away. I hope we can see Prakshi out on the Gateway State Trail this summer!

[@michaelvincent8306]

I taught my mate to ride at 40 it was like Christmas and birthday rolled into one well done ❤

[@JustinRY]

I did not know this and still need to learn on my end. Great video and good job Prakshi! I'm looking forward to opportunities in my area once they're open and available.

[@arlenesolis024]

Woooo hooo way to go girl you got this

[@rei]

+1 👏👏👏

[@WilliamPhillippe]

Unbridled joy 😊

[@rei]

That's a great way of putting it!

[@JohnMikoBolanio]

Prakshi seems so nice and a good hearted person😊🤙nice one!👏

[@manicp1xie139]

I love her smile! She seemed so excited

[@Mainstayjay]

In the past two years I have gotten back into bicycling in a big way. I just finished a tent camping bike tour but I am always riding alone which is boring at times. My partner never learned to ride but she wants to learn and I would love it if she could come with me on my tours. I am going to show her this video when she gets home from work. I'm hoping that it will really help to spark her interest in getting it all started. It was really cool to see Prakshi learn so quickly!

[@taker00]

Any updates?

[@Mystel08]

I'm 31 and will be learning how to ride a bike tomorrow. It's nicer if I have a supportive friend available to teach me how to ride a bike.

[@rs-tarxvfz]

This is so positive. I am chuckling 👍👍

[@melchoraslez1689]

That was great 👍 an encouraging teacher and some patience is all it takes

[@leandrotoledodesouza]

This is amazing! Good job Prakshi!

[@Adrienne-e1b]

Brilliant. Made it look so easy!

[@alethearobinson8132]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this video. You go girl. Welcome to the wide world of cycling. When the video started, I wondered if the trainer would take the pedals off and start with the scoot method. Bravo 👍. Thank you Prakshi for sharing with us all.🥰🚴‍♀️

[@fleetfeet9]

When I learned how to ride a bike in the 80s, my dad just gave me a big ol' push and told me to pedal ha! I wish I learned using the methods in the video instead of the 'push and pedal and try not to fall' method!

[@WangechiKahutī]

Me too! Its amazing that the trainer doesnt have to push you.

[@gamingroosy7175]

You'll made me feel comfortable! I'm learning how to ride a bike recently. And no one taught me this way. I tried to pedal with both my legs on the first day, first hour and unfortunately fell and had wounds. 😂btw, I'm 18 and rveryone said it was late. This video mskes me think i shouldn't feel bad about it

[@axstr1c]

My mum is 41 and I taught her how to ride. So it's never too late

[@rei]

Couldn't agree more

[@samaria6797]

I'm 35 and my husband is going to tech me how to ride a bike today. I. So nervous yet excited at the same time. This video definitely helps decrease the level of nervousness for me...I'm looking forward to my husband teaching me this skill and I know this is going to be an enjoyable and funny experience 😅

[@aubreylucinaking]

Great video! I am middle-aged and haven’t ridden a bike since I was 12 so I am about to re-learn. We just moved to Amsterdam, the perfect place for biking. Struggling to find the right size bike for my short legs though.

[@rei]

Glad you enjoyed! You'll definitely get use out of it in Amsterdam!😁

[@fozola20]

Just taught my daughter to learn to ride a bike not sure who’s more excited

[@psychedelic9170]

This was really helpful. Thank you for this.

[@christinadejesus]

I cried. It was beautiful.

You're welcome and happy cycling!

[@AndreasLinz]

Awesome video I try to learn it too, with 34 years but for me its a little bit harder because my head overthinks big time, especially since i did it as a child and literally forgot how to ride a bike

[@vincentnin1]

turning 96 this year and im just learning

[@RobBlazoff]

There's something in my eye. 🥲

[@rei]

We completely understand! 🥰 It's awesome to watch a goal be achieved. 🙌

[@lynettebreedlove6164]

The way you taught her to balance❤🎉

[@yazimvalles6828]

I don’t know…how did she managed to keep the balance so fast?

[@dramaQuiin]

I'm keep falling either in left side or right side. 😢 I've bought a women bicycle today too and it's my first time I'm trying to ride.😢

[@rosearmada2]

​@@dramaQuiinare you able to do it now? I just bought a bike to learn a few days ago and this is happening to me too!

[@dramaQuiin]

@@rosearmada2 no😞.. no one in my house is helping me to learn bicycle, and also there is no park or play ground near my locality where i can try to ride it. it's been a month already, i still couldn't learn it 😞

I wish i lived in the US 😭 The roads are extremely wide and big But i live in an extremely populated area so the roads are small and everywhere is apartments I live in Istanbul there's barely any area which has suburbs lik in the us

[@COSMACELF1802]

I can't believe people miss the obvious lesson in learning to ride a bike. Use the steering to keep your balance and use your balance to steer!!!! I sat with all my kids and taught them to steer into the direction they are leaning. I explained that this would put the bike back upright. After 5 minutes of practicing this and making it "instinct", they were riding on their own. Of course, how much steering depends on speed and that's something they figured out on their own. Then, to turn, they understood leaning was the first part, then steering into the lean. Again, how much leaning and steering depends and they figured it out.

[@Coolmanreetyt]

When I learned I had the seat up and they said just go for it so I learned to bring the pedal up and push hard to start rolling bring up my left foot on the pedal and hope for the best

[@mbdmurray]

She’s a natural.

[@glitterbabi1]

Great video. Wish classes were near me

I have to learn also!!

Ke lo ke Kevin 🇩🇴

[@dhumalaneesh8026]

Supperb😊

[@aykutgokbayrak]

Hi. I'm trying to teach my wife. We bought a second hand bike and started practices. Her bike has shock absorbers so the seat does not go below a certain level and its feet do not touch the ground. Therefore, he cannot sit and pedal in the first place. Will this prevent him from learning?

[@fintinipenini2553]

I like the paret when she rode the bike

[@ArdeshirBanerjee]

I wish there were such lessons nearby.

[@llif619]

Don't need lessons i just taught my 5 year old by pushing her down a slight incline over and over and after 20 minutes she was doing it

[@jassrab7230]

Im practicing still 3rd day

Fun 🎉

Great

I wish I could ride a bike never had one in my 40 years of life

[@LilyEvans1996]

I’m learning now lol I’m 28

[@Matti94337]

In my Country you say like, 'it is like riding a Bike', it means something is very simple. Because Children learn from very young Age to ride a Bike.

[@mariadeleon5406]

I can't touch the ground because I'm 4.8 feet and my bike is big for my size. What would you suggest? I'm scared because I just fell over when trying to practice😢 Saludos 😊

[@coreysuffield]

find a kids bike to practice on, balancing will be exactly the same

[@floofiestkittycats9123]

I know this is old, but Im 16 learning how to ride a bike. Unfortunately my bike is too tall and only half my feet can touch the ground and I feel like thats the reason Im having so much trouble. I cant even propel myself properly with my feet or keep myself in balance, its so difficult for me to learn correctly. Is there any way I can learn when the bike is a but too tall for me, cause my bike seat wont go any lower :( i know this is a very difficult question but no adults will listen to me and rent me a bike that I can actually use I hope you can help me

[@SciruscL]

This technique may help you to start an stop on your bike kzbin.info/www/bejne/on_Ip4Gndp2mf9U

[@coreysuffield]

if you are still trying to learn, go find a cheap(or borrow) kids bike which will be low to the ground, it will be exactly the same balancing and the physics

[@polokahmedtushar5860]

I'm having difficulty touching both my feet to the ground as I'm short in height. I'm only 5 feet 2 inches😅. I'm trying to learn riding bicycle at the age of 29! What should i do?

[@lordarcas11]

Last time I rode a bike was when I was just 8 or 10 yrs old. I'm 42 now and just impulsively bought an MTB which I really don't need. Demn it's like I'm trying to learn again. Now I'm too shy to try it outside, a freakin' 40 year old who doesn't know how to ride a bike. Well, I guess I needed the bike after all. LOL

🤟

[@dramaQuiin]

Riding a bicycle is my lifetime dream but my family never supported me, and now I'm 33yrs old. Ultimately I bought today a women cycle 26T, I'm 5feet, but my feet can't reach fully to the floor😢😢😢.. I'm having difficulty walking while seating on the cycle seat😢😢

24 and learning how to ride a bike today 😢

[@johnnyg7899]

The hardest part of learning for me is learning how to turn and finding someone who will take the time to teach you. In 68 years I have found no one willing to teach me for free or paid a reasonable tip.

[@coreysuffield]

just set up a bike they did the video, low seat, no pedals, feet on the ground and just spend lots of time getting a feel for what the bike wants to do. one method that is actually used by motorcycles is counter-steering where you push forward the side of the handle bar in the direction you want to turn. although at lower speeds counter balancing is necessary for sharper turns where when the bike leans in to the turn, you lean out.

[@ramongmd]

Ey the Dominican

[@splatboynick5149]

idk but i think riding my scooter helped me learn how to ride a bike for a scooter, you need speed to balance, same thing for a bike

[@siddharthagautam8261]

Means you learn scooter before bike

[@MrBobbyw121]

Whats funny is if she already knew how to ride.. 😅

[@artboymoy]

She didn't learn to turn...
