- In this video Prakshi learns to ride a bike for the first time! Watch as she goes step by step building up the skills to pedal on her own. With the help of an REI Experiences instructor she finally gives riding a go after wanting to for years. Watch this video to see how she does on her first day, and see how you can do it too!
Prakshi is a filmmaker who lives in the Minneapolis area. She is a talented writer, director and editor and now...bike rider!
Our Thanks to Joe Jackson, who was a patient and incredibly knowledgeable instructor!
This video also features Kevin Frias, who is an avid cyclist, Bikepacker and content creator who lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kevin spends a great deal of time getting out on two wheels, exploring, pushing his own limits, and making it easier for others to do the same.
In his words, "My name is Kevin and I am passionate about sharing the outdoors with others! Currently, I execute that by going on adventures and sharing it on Instagram (@kevdoesinsta) and UA-cam (KevDoes). I want to energize people, especially people of color, to get outside and live their best life. I was born in the Bronx, NY and never knew about the life-changing force that you get from being outside so now I want to share that with everyone, and make the face of the outdoors a few shades darker."

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.
I’m 33 and I’m learning how to ride a bike too!
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
I’m 30 , & today I have tried for the first time, hope I can do it
aahhh cant wait, i'll learning bike tomorrow. wish me luck😢
No classes near me😢
How’s your progress??
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.
That's awesome! We're glad you enjoyed the video!
I am 37 and never ridden a bike ,this gives me hope,thank you!!
You're welcome! We invite you to take a class with us. Here's a link where you can check the availability in your area: bit.ly/3MvjL0Y If you don't see anything right now, check back, or talk to your local store. We're constantly updating our offerings.
I have learned to ride a horse at 30 and a bike at 38! You can do it :)
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
Yes to all of this! 👏 We appreciate your kudos!
Prakshi done a beautiful job learning how to ride a bike for the first time she’s so happy. Good job Kevin.
I haven't seen that technique to teach someone how to ride, this is a great strategy!!
Getting comfortable balancing is the key!
Congrats Prakshi. Made it look easy.
We all need a Kevin in our lives.
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.
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
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.
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 🙏🏻
Have you made any progress. I'm trying to learn by myself
@santanusk2853 I'm also trying to learn by myself and still with no progress unfortunately 😓
@@Lina.S83 was really hoping for some progress. Keep at it
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 🤞🏻🙏🏻
I’m convinced it’s impossible for me to learn someone tried to teach me last summer and I still can’t
The enthusiasm of "the Crazy Guy" is contagious! 😄
I like to format of the video, It feels like a TV home makeover show😄
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.
This is amazing! Good job Prakshi!
the bike is one of the best inventions ever made ,its fun efficient healthy and clean, im not a hippy or eco environmentalist ,but people who rely on bikes understand the dependence on them
We agree! 🖤🤍🖤
Prakshi seems so nice and a good hearted person😊🤙nice one!👏
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
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!
Brilliant. Made it look so easy!
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.🥰🚴♀️
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!
Loved this so much ❤❤
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! 💕
That was great 👍 an encouraging teacher and some patience is all it takes
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!
This is so positive. I am chuckling 👍👍
Woooo hooo way to go girl you got this
+1 👏👏👏
I love this vid! Thank you!
You're welcome and happy cycling!
Unbridled joy 😊
That's a great way of putting it!
Thanks for the video
I taught my mate to ride at 40 it was like Christmas and birthday rolled into one well done ❤
If everyone has encouraging coach like Kevin we all can learn something new that too quickly
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
My mum is 41 and I taught her how to ride. So it's never too late
Couldn't agree more
1000th like! Great video :D
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!
Any updates?
Great video. Wish classes were near me
Just taught my daughter to learn to ride a bike not sure who’s more excited
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.
Glad you enjoyed! You'll definitely get use out of it in Amsterdam!😁
Nice teacher ! I need that
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
There's something in my eye.
🥲
We completely understand! 🥰 It's awesome to watch a goal be achieved. 🙌
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
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
I have to learn also!!
Her energy!
I don’t know…how did she managed to keep the balance so fast?
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.😢
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 😁
Supperb😊
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?
Hello guys, I have a question, what type of bike is used in the video?
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 😊
*[exuberant joy]*
Fun 🎉
Great
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
Im practicing still 3rd day
Ke lo ke Kevin 🇩🇴
Cool, now you have a new riding buddy.
We all do! 🙌
Im leaving in London and i 37 years old and i want learn ride the bike where can i go ?
I wish I could ride a bike never had one in my 40 years of life
I’m trying to learn at 33 and I hate the feeling of falling
🤟
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
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.
I’m learning now lol I’m 28
I want to learn to bike. But i am scared.
Am learning at 28years old
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😢😢
I am 43 and learning to ride a bike along with my daughter
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
Means you learn scooter before bike
Bro im 13 and know how ride a motorcycle😂
