The best part of the Plymbridge Trail is the section which is run by the Plym Valley Railway. You can catch a steam train from Marsh Mills to Plymbridge and walk up to the viaduct from there.
I'm 33 yrs old, not yet learn to ride a bicycle. I want to learn.. but couldn't do it for these many years. This was a fun video.
Learned it with age of 46, a few weeks ago. I visited a kind of bicycle school.
I'm 45 and learned to ride a bike last month. Been practicing ever since. Last few things to practice is learning to properly mount and dismount without sitting on the saddle. Also, standing on the pedals. I don't quite have the balance nor balls to try it just yet. I'm more confident now to ride. Just need to get used to gravel and short grass, but can turn and navigate driveways, sidewalks and gentle sloped areas.
Like anything in life, you need to practice. Anything that looks easy isn't really easy at all. It takes time to make it look effortless. I was scared shitless to get on a bike. I got over my fear by not quitting. If I can do it, you can, too. You just need to start, be patient with yourself and go at your own pace.
That's a wonderful comment. Learning to cycle is just the beginning of a whole process.
At 72 years young it took me about a week to have my balance then up on the pedals and away I went great fun
Anyone who is about to give up, please don't. I am 31 and just learned riding a bike today, within 2 hours. Before I tried several times with pedals on, my husband pushing me or holding my seat, but nothing worked. I thought I'd never be able to do this. But today I got the pedals off, practiced balancing for 1.5 hours and then put the pedals back on and after a few tries I got the pedalling. My tips would be; lower the seat to have your feet flat on the ground comfortably, look ahead, start scooting slowly and gain speed when you feel confident. Sit straight back and relaxed, dont lean on the handle bars at all since it will make you fall to one side or the other. Once you can keep your feet in the air for a bit of distance, then put pedals back on and try pedalling. Put the pedal on your dominant side at 2 o'clock position and keep the other foot on the ground. Push with the dominant foot on the pedal, at the same time as you push of the ground with the other foot. This will help you to gain momentum. Start pedalling fast and you'll get it in no time. Trust me, I was that person who looked at others' biking with envy.
William Tau thanks I'm going to try again soon. My husband just got a bike and I want us to be able to ride together. We are going to go get me fitted for a good bike. I can't wait. Between this video and your instructions I feel comfortable and confident. I'm 48 almost 49.
I will try today, I would like to learn before the end of this month. Wish me luck!
Good luck..
@@morphidae, how did it go?!
@@mahfuzurchowdhury2765 I did manage to learn! but I couldn't keep practicing as had to return the bike, I was gonna buy it from my brother but couldn't afford it back then. I'm hoping to buy a new one before the end of the year...
Good
after watching your video and a few hour long outings with my son who was also ready to learn we both figured it out. Today we biked to the park together. I didn't think at 31 I would learn to ride a bike. Thank you so much for sharing. It such a liberating feeling not being that one person who doesn't ride a bike
Thank you a million times over.
Congratulations to both you and your son!

Ivy Neeson keep trying do like others have done and like this video by scooting with your feet. I'm 48 and finally want to try again too. The videos and people here on UA-cam are helping me feel confident to try again. We can do it!! Good luck👍

I'm 41, tried to learn many times over the years but never had good teachers I guess and I gave up. Now I live in a very bike friendly area and I'd like to try again but my sense of balance is nil.

Bullshit. I had 4 hours in training. Still falls when i put my foot in pedals lol. Its all about confidence n balance
Hi sir or madam. Do you already can ride the bike now? I also cant and i want to learn. Thank you
How do I master balance it seems as if the bike is always tipping over
Wai Ying Loo Jim's tip about taking off the pedals and pushing gently along with your feet until you get the hang of balance is a good way to start. Also, try to look straight ahead as far as you can rather than look at the ground right in front of you
i wanna learn how to bike bike
1:31 clear and present danger , let me turn back.
I really want to ride a bike but the bike doesn't like me..I'm turning 23 but cannot balance a bike .. working just for weeks It didn't work..what's the technique to improve balance
Front brakes aren't a good idea? I'm riding a bike with a front brake at the moment..And a back wheel that's coming off of alignment lol.

Hi sir or madam. Do you already can ride the bike now? I also want to learn. Thank you
When you steer your bike, do you lean your body to one side or not? :o
No
You can, but it is safer to lean the bike rather than your body. When you lean your body, it pushes your center of gravity out, making it more likely that you will lose traction. Leaning the bike keeps more of your weight over the tires.

For cornering,you lean your body
alright guys here’s a population for you. i’m a stroke survivor and only have use of my right side. left hand and arm are effectively useless. i can ride a tricycle but they’re not allowed on transit buses. so i’m currently looking for a well balanced bike that requires minor adjustments to maintain balance yet us still under 50lbs so that i can lift it with one harm to p,ace it on a buses bike rack. remember gear changes and bra,ing can only be done by right hand
Their accent !!! And place
Learning to bide a rike
Not knowing how to ride a bike is like not knowing how to swim or walk.
