Stabilisers for Adult Bicycle
Hi,
Does anyone have any idea where I might buy some stabilisers for an adult's bike? Mum is not willing to try learning the balance bit without some additional reassurance!! She did want a tricycle, but cant see one of them on a bike rack on the back of a Micra! Mara |

Training wheels don't teach a person how to ride a bike, because the way you steer when actually riding is completely different from the way you steer when you have training wheels. Just lower the seat until Mum can put her feet flat on the ground. If necessary, remove the pedals. Have her practice "scooting" along on the bike, learning how to use the brakes, getting comfortable with the feeling. Then she can start lifting her feet off the ground as she rolls along, secure in the knowledge that she knows how to stop and she won't fall over because she can still plant her feet. I think you can figure it out from there. RichC |

She could put her feet flat on the pavement when the bike is stopped. Pat in TX : : |
