@@zwicker5585 I'm sincerely sorry that wasn't your life experience. But here's the good news; if/when you have your own kids, you can love them and build memories with them thereby breaking the chain of what you went through.
Her little squeal of joy was beautiful. Parents are such an important part of children's lives. 💙💙 Love seeing little kids just be little kids. It's so beautiful.
I went to Canada, and the guy in the parking pay booth had attached his card reader to a hockey stick. It was hilarious when he just pulled it out and stuck it in the car😂
I’m Canadian and can confirm this was common during Covid for social distancing. It made sense especially since every Canadian has at least 5 hockey sticks in their garage even if no one in the family ever played hockey.
little tip: if your ever doing this dont tell your kid that you will let go, when you start keep it steady but slowly have less pressure on it so they will learn alot faster and wont be stressed when you let go cos they wont even notice it
@@FoxDog1080 with this tip, they wont even know you let go and they will think you are still keeping them up but in reality they learned how to balance it on their own. its not a 100% guaranteed method but with most kids it will work
Seeing the stick made so much sense, like, kid bikes should come with these for teaching like training wheels and when they learn you can take it off, it's perfect! But it also really reminds me of kid leashes and makes watching him walk while holding it really funny. So I guess some parents may not vibe with the idea. 😂
how so... he never taught her to ride the bike. he just pushed her around on it. "controlling it" as he said. if he took the stick off and gave her 20 mins of a proper lesson she would have been riding the bike already. it shouldn't take her "days" to learn. grabbing the stick and stopping her from falling over prevented her from learning to counter balance. as long as a bike is rolling, its pretty much impossible for it to fall over because of centrifugal forces. same thing with training wheels, they are a counter to learning proper skills like how to properly turn, asd the tend to lean on the 3rd wheel causing them to learn the wrong muscle memory of balance. with is why balance bikes are actually better then a bike with trainers
In America the training wheels come off and you're pushed into a telephone pole. The telephone pole gives you the skill because you're an expert now that you have that scar you'll have the rest of your life to remember how Dad or Grandpa shoved you into a telephone pole
I took my training wheels off after I tried racing my sister on my bike, fell over, and sanded off a chunk of skin on the sidewalk. I still have the scar as a red oval on my knee. lol
My father put me in such a big cycle that my legs were unable to reach the ground and barely reached the padle, then he let me go. I yelled and cried and gave up 🫣
My dad did this for me when I was younger, but he never told me when he would let go and the one time I was cycling alone while rambling onto him but he was a few steps behind me and I turned to look at him lost my balance and immediately fell 😭😂 Still one of my favourite memory
Even better. Get an old bilen and remove the pedals and cranks. Let the kid learn to balance by running, they can do it at three. Then you just add pedals and they do it straight away, no need to run behind with sticks.
Dang! This is such a smart way to teach a kid. You could even let go without telling her (after judging she’s pedaling fast enough) and just be either prepared to catch her quickly or praise her when she’s doing well. I wish I had this when I was young 😂❤
My mother told me her older brother taught her how to ride a bike. As she progressed, her brother let go of the back of the bike and she continued to do well. It wasn't until she noticed he wasn't hanging on anymore that she had a hard time controlling the bike. She felt safe and confident she knew he was holding on. For any future parents or anyone who's going to teach someone to ride a bike, don't announce when you're going to let go because then they will get nervous and overthink it. Once they seem to get the hang of it, allow them to cruise and take control. If they haven't noticed they've been on their own after they stop, then you can let them now they did that all of their own and it will build their confidence to ride on their own. I didn't learn how to ride a bike without training wheels until I was 15 because my parents couldn't afford it, and this little girl seems to have done better than I did when I first started, so good for her and dad for the neat trick.
It’s the memories of the dads teaching you how to ride a bike ❤! I remember my dad teaching me and I fell of SO much and my dad told me your never gonna make it without making mistakes! And I eventually learned!!
My Dad did that when I learned how to ride a bike! he did not use hockey stick though, but some scrap wood stick he left from projects. Cannot tell you how magical it felt when I rode down the whole block and THEN realized Dad has not been holding the stick! He was just smiling and waving at me from where I started!!!
Given she kept her balance when you let go of the sticks and the sticks were waggling a bit while unsupported, I believe she’s ready to ride solo. One tip for her would be to look where she wants to go and not down at the ground. Great job Olivia and Dad!
@@dagneytaggart7707 she doesn’t the bikes looks just fine for her . And it’s her size she doesn’t need a bike that’s to big or to small . Also I would say when she gets a little bit bigger & older yes she will need a bigger one that’s her height and size .

@@affegpus4195 My parents lived on a hill but with the fence you couldn't see if a car was coming. I would start at the top of the driveway and roll down and that's how I would get going. Then one day I tried as hard as I could to figure it out but they just could not get the bike to stop tipping over before I could put my foot on the pedal to start pedaling and I still have no idea how I actually figured it out but somehow I did.

Oh but it does matter 😂 Research has shown that once more than 10 percent of your neighbors are Black, the value of your home declines. As the percentage of Black neighbors increases, the property’s value plummets even further
@@niko.2shrt Just stating some facts, here's some more. Statistics say , 25-33% of African-American men are spending time in jail or prison and 28% of African-American children do not live with any father representative.
That is awesome... She doesn't know that she could learn in less than an hour. 😅 Kudos to dad for the idea. The baby girl just had to remember not to look down. That will help a lot. Focus out
A long scarf around their torso under the armpits to the back works really well too. Then you can keep them upright while walking and feels really natural for kids
The fact that he told her when he was going to let go and he gave her a count down shows what a good parent he is. My dad didn't have the patience with me, so he let go pretty quick, didnt tell me, and also didn't tell me before hand how to stop or turn. So when I shakily tried to balance cuz he let go, I kept pedaling in a panic until I hit a curb hard and went flying off the bike. His reaction was to laugh when I cried and blamed him for not properly teaching me and for letting go and then he yelled at me for blaming him and said he couldn't hold on forever and that it should have been obvious that to stop, you stop pedaling and put a foot down, not pedal more and I ended up getting my mom and she chewed him out as she patched me up. She spent the rest of that training session with me instead, but the next time I wanted to practice I was stuck with him again. 😅 I would have preferred my older brother teach me than him, so I eventually ended up dragging my brother out to help me instead. He really tried to run behind me to keep up and hold the seat steady until I found my balance, but a couple times he had to let go because he couldn't keep up and I'd end up falling. My dad laughed everytime. Always hated him for that. Whether I was perfectly fine, or had some cuts or bruises or whatever, he would laugh. My brother got me a bandaid if I got hurt, my mom would clean and bandage them, but my dad only ever laughed and told me I was fine if I got upset that he was laughing at me. So I ended up switching to my mom a lot so she could yell at him. 😂
convinced balanced bikes are the best. My nieces had balance bikes at 3, used them for a summer, and the next year they learned pedals after a few weeks at age 4. They were pros also, never fell down. Most of riding a bike is balance. Once they're comfortable with that pedals are cake. Pedals just get in the way while trying to learn balance.
Didn't have training wheels or a trainer. Dad gave me a bike at 7 years old and said you balance by leaning and turning into the direction you are falling. Still figured it out in a day or two. BUT... having a coach to make it easier is way cool. Especially when it's Family.
My grandad taught me when i was 3 by making shure i was confident using my brakes and steering then took me up a hill and sent me down after that i was fine but because my brother was obsessed with the fact that when i turned 5 he'd teach me like how he was taught (he couldnt ride until he was 6 and a half but started learning a couple weeks before he turned 6 when i was about a month and a half maby 2 months old when my cousins gradually heightened the stabilisers and eventually took one off and then heightened the other gradually until it wasnt needed. And because of his obsession of teaching me when i was 5 my grandad and i kept it a secret from everyone and i only got to ride without the stabilisers when my grandad took me out on my own my brother still believes to this day that he taught me to ride my bike when i was 5 and a half. he was so proud of it thinking it would have made our grandad proud had he not died 2 weeks after my 5th birthday and at 18 yearold i can whole heartedly say that it would have had our grandad rolling with laughter at how much his sense of achievement was for something i alredy knew how to do. Me and my grandad weren't called mini and mega mischief for nothing we always played jokes half the time tricking people into a false sence of achevement (whitch makes them happy) while also knowing we were the ones the actually achieve it whitch ment we could laugh between ourself while still making others happy although our chaos as the family called it was unconventional we always made shure the tricks made people happy only exeption was our pranks during prank war and even then they were pranks that at the time may have annoyed the person/people but after about a day or so we were all rolling around laughing about it together
I will never forget my dad bent down holding the seat and letting go for the first time- way to early and going downhill 😅 some inventions can’t replace just the good old wholesome way of doing things
This idea came to me decades ago, only it was just a cut off broom stick attached just behind the seat tube through that little triangle that the seat stays make. The hockey stick is way better. An even better way is to take off their pedals and give them a slight grassy incline. I taught a kid to ride a bike in one day with that method.
i never got the chance to learn to ride a bike until i was 14, finally lived somewhere bikes could be ridden and a neighbors kid i was friends with had one. i actually learned kinda on accident, i was just using it as a seat then got bored and picked my feet up letting myself roll down the slight slope. then i went from there and was riding naturally in a few minutes, i always had good balance so i had zero issues. bittersweet because shortly after i got my own bike and i loved riding it.....for a year. then we moved again and yet again nowhere to ride, then i suddenly went from 5 foot to 6 foot in one summer, by then i was too big to ride it.
I was taught this way too. The thing is to get the kid feeling safe and then letting go without them knowing and then when they stop to see you far away - that's when they learn! At least that's what happened to me😅
Best thing ever man.. My kids are 30 plus. N they all talk about me their dad showing them how n now they all have done same thing with grandkids.. Good stuff bro
My cousins put me on a bike too big for me at the top of a steep slope, part of an embankment and pushed me off. I could only reach the pedal on one side at a time to give it a little push. The sheer exhilaration of flying down that ramp onto the old football pitch is one of my core memories. Falling down on grass is a whole lot easier than dealing with road rash. We didn't have helmets in those days, back in the 1970s, and not a thought was given to possible broken arms or head. You just got up, picked up the bike, and returned to the embankment. The bike was an old 1940s or 50s make, a solid iron construction that was too heavy for me to push up the slope at first.
Love this for her i taught my son in literally 10min how to ride a bike and no lie in 2days he was wheelieing lol that’s what he wanted to learn to ride for to pick the front wheel up lol gota love the kiddos when they’re determined they get stuff done
This is how my parents did it in the 1980s. Today in Scandinavia the kids bike without pedals has taken over. My youngest daughter learned by herself with no grabbing or stick, when she sat on a proper bike. I highly recommend!
I used to take a piece of pvc pipe and shove it in parallel to the seat tube, you can see the brace it gets wedged in. They were off and riding in minutes and usually crashed the first time due to the shock of me not holding on. Worked for 3 kids ;-)
My mom taught me by running along with me while holding the back of the bike, so I couldn’t see her, then, without me knowing, she let go. I didn’t overthink it and biked for like 5 minutes straight before I noticed. One of my best memories
take her up that hill and (preferably on a grassy bit) get her to just practice balancing by just rolling down the hill, tell her to keep her head up and not look down during it. Do that a few times until she's comfortable doing it. Then get her to pedal (not to generate power, just to get her used to the wobble caused by moving her legs up and down). Once she comfortable with that, tell her to start trying to pedal to drive the bike forward. Once she's driving the bike forward herself, she's basically done it and the next step is just getting her to push off. It's how I taught my dyspraxic cousin to ride a bike. Break it up into individual tasks where the focus is on getting good at each individual task (don't fall off, lift your feet onto the pedals, pedal, put down power). Also a free wheeling bike with brakes would be best.
My daughter is also learning to go no training wheels, I'll definitely try this method as she tells me she isn't ready. This technic should help her confidence so she will be ready.
Her little squeal at the end😆. Oddly enough I never learned to ride a bike until I was 13. Friends put me on their bike. No training wheels. They held each handle bar for me until I found my balance and finally was able to move on my own with no help. Took me a total of 2 hours.
Awesome Dad! I remember my father thought me how to ride a bike as well when I was a kid such a fun moment and the most unforgettable one was when he let go I didn’t even know that I was doing it on my own and he told me ‘you’re doing great , you are doing it all by yourself ‘ and I was so happy. May he R. I. P. Love you forever my loving father.👍👏🇨🇦
I wish I had this encouragement and positive engagement when I was learning to ride a bike instead of my dad just calling me a fucking idiot for not knowing how to do it right away
Great idea the only problem is that causes a bit of extra weight on the bike so either if you child has been using training wheels it will be unusual and make it even harder or the second you take them off and the child rides it they’ll also have the problem of that extra weight is gone which will make it even harder to ride it also as you saw in the video it can cause some problems with stirring and balance because let’s face it that hockey tape is not gonna keep it from leaning
Aside from the fact that this is a great idea, a dad teaching his child to ride a bike is one of those childhood memories that we remember sweetly all our lives.
It is almost the only thing I remember my dad teaching me because he got very sick when I was 5.
So, I agree. ❤

Next, she needs a bigger bike.

Statistics say , 25-33% of African-American men are spending time in jail or prison and 28% of African-American children do not live with any father representative.
pure genius
Besides you being a great Dad. You have a great invention here sir.
That is awesome...
She doesn't know that she could learn in less than an hour. 😅 Kudos to dad for the idea.
The baby girl just had to remember not to look down. That will help a lot. Focus out
A long scarf around their torso under the armpits to the back works really well too. Then you can keep them upright while walking and feels really natural for kids
We had something called a buddy bar that works like that. So nice to see a dad and his daughter having fun outside together!
That makes me happy! I taught all three of my daughters to ride a bike, but I'm in Arizona with no hockey sticks. Good job, man!
GOD BLESS HER SHE IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE A FATHER LIKE YOU🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🤗
The fact that he told her when he was going to let go and he gave her a count down shows what a good parent he is.
My dad didn't have the patience with me, so he let go pretty quick, didnt tell me, and also didn't tell me before hand how to stop or turn. So when I shakily tried to balance cuz he let go, I kept pedaling in a panic until I hit a curb hard and went flying off the bike. His reaction was to laugh when I cried and blamed him for not properly teaching me and for letting go and then he yelled at me for blaming him and said he couldn't hold on forever and that it should have been obvious that to stop, you stop pedaling and put a foot down, not pedal more and I ended up getting my mom and she chewed him out as she patched me up. She spent the rest of that training session with me instead, but the next time I wanted to practice I was stuck with him again. 😅 I would have preferred my older brother teach me than him, so I eventually ended up dragging my brother out to help me instead. He really tried to run behind me to keep up and hold the seat steady until I found my balance, but a couple times he had to let go because he couldn't keep up and I'd end up falling. My dad laughed everytime. Always hated him for that. Whether I was perfectly fine, or had some cuts or bruises or whatever, he would laugh. My brother got me a bandaid if I got hurt, my mom would clean and bandage them, but my dad only ever laughed and told me I was fine if I got upset that he was laughing at me. So I ended up switching to my mom a lot so she could yell at him. 😂
convinced balanced bikes are the best. My nieces had balance bikes at 3, used them for a summer, and the next year they learned pedals after a few weeks at age 4. They were pros also, never fell down. Most of riding a bike is balance. Once they're comfortable with that pedals are cake. Pedals just get in the way while trying to learn balance.
Not all heroes wear capes ! Legend 🦵
Didn't have training wheels or a trainer. Dad gave me a bike at 7 years old and said you balance by leaning and turning into the direction you are falling. Still figured it out in a day or two. BUT... having a coach to make it easier is way cool. Especially when it's Family.
My grandad taught me when i was 3 by making shure i was confident using my brakes and steering then took me up a hill and sent me down after that i was fine but because my brother was obsessed with the fact that when i turned 5 he'd teach me like how he was taught (he couldnt ride until he was 6 and a half but started learning a couple weeks before he turned 6 when i was about a month and a half maby 2 months old when my cousins gradually heightened the stabilisers and eventually took one off and then heightened the other gradually until it wasnt needed. And because of his obsession of teaching me when i was 5 my grandad and i kept it a secret from everyone and i only got to ride without the stabilisers when my grandad took me out on my own my brother still believes to this day that he taught me to ride my bike when i was 5 and a half. he was so proud of it thinking it would have made our grandad proud had he not died 2 weeks after my 5th birthday and at 18 yearold i can whole heartedly say that it would have had our grandad rolling with laughter at how much his sense of achievement was for something i alredy knew how to do. Me and my grandad weren't called mini and mega mischief for nothing we always played jokes half the time tricking people into a false sence of achevement (whitch makes them happy) while also knowing we were the ones the actually achieve it whitch ment we could laugh between ourself while still making others happy although our chaos as the family called it was unconventional we always made shure the tricks made people happy only exeption was our pranks during prank war and even then they were pranks that at the time may have annoyed the person/people but after about a day or so we were all rolling around laughing about it together
I will never forget my dad bent down holding the seat and letting go for the first time- way to early and going downhill 😅 some inventions can’t replace just the good old wholesome way of doing things
One of the most Canadian things I've ever seen. Red Green would be proud 🎉
The cute squeal at the end 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤
This idea came to me decades ago, only it was just a cut off broom stick attached just behind the seat tube through that little triangle that the seat stays make. The hockey stick is way better. An even better way is to take off their pedals and give them a slight grassy incline. I taught a kid to ride a bike in one day with that method.
i never got the chance to learn to ride a bike until i was 14, finally lived somewhere bikes could be ridden and a neighbors kid i was friends with had one.
i actually learned kinda on accident, i was just using it as a seat then got bored and picked my feet up letting myself roll down the slight slope.
then i went from there and was riding naturally in a few minutes, i always had good balance so i had zero issues.
bittersweet because shortly after i got my own bike and i loved riding it.....for a year.
then we moved again and yet again nowhere to ride, then i suddenly went from 5 foot to 6 foot in one summer, by then i was too big to ride it.
Gotta scar on my forehead from learning to ride my bike thanks to dad 😂 still the best dad ever ❤
I was taught this way too. The thing is to get the kid feeling safe and then letting go without them knowing and then when they stop to see you far away - that's when they learn!
At least that's what happened to me😅
That’s awesome. This man is truly wealthy being a father who can teach his child new things. 👍
Best thing ever man.. My kids are 30 plus. N they all talk about me their dad showing them how n now they all have done same thing with grandkids.. Good stuff bro
Balance bikes work wonders for kids. My kid was riding his down hills from age 2, and as soon as he switched to a bike with pedals, he had no trouble.
My cousins put me on a bike too big for me at the top of a steep slope, part of an embankment and pushed me off.
I could only reach the pedal on one side at a time to give it a little push.
The sheer exhilaration of flying down that ramp onto the old football pitch is one of my core memories.
Falling down on grass is a whole lot easier than dealing with road rash.
We didn't have helmets in those days, back in the 1970s, and not a thought was given to possible broken arms or head.
You just got up, picked up the bike, and returned to the embankment.
The bike was an old 1940s or 50s make, a solid iron construction that was too heavy for me to push up the slope at first.
That is a smart idea 💡💡💡, she is soo good at it ❤❤❤
Love this for her i taught my son in literally 10min how to ride a bike and no lie in 2days he was wheelieing lol that’s what he wanted to learn to ride for to pick the front wheel up lol gota love the kiddos when they’re determined they get stuff done
This is how my parents did it in the 1980s. Today in Scandinavia the kids bike without pedals has taken over. My youngest daughter learned by herself with no grabbing or stick, when she sat on a proper bike. I highly recommend!
Simply awesome! Go dad!❤
Wow that’s a actually really cool way to teach your kid❤😂😂😂😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I used to take a piece of pvc pipe and shove it in parallel to the seat tube, you can see the brace it gets wedged in. They were off and riding in minutes and usually crashed the first time due to the shock of me not holding on. Worked for 3 kids ;-)
My mom taught me by running along with me while holding the back of the bike, so I couldn’t see her, then, without me knowing, she let go. I didn’t overthink it and biked for like 5 minutes straight before I noticed. One of my best memories
take her up that hill and (preferably on a grassy bit) get her to just practice balancing by just rolling down the hill, tell her to keep her head up and not look down during it. Do that a few times until she's comfortable doing it. Then get her to pedal (not to generate power, just to get her used to the wobble caused by moving her legs up and down). Once she comfortable with that, tell her to start trying to pedal to drive the bike forward. Once she's driving the bike forward herself, she's basically done it and the next step is just getting her to push off.
It's how I taught my dyspraxic cousin to ride a bike. Break it up into individual tasks where the focus is on getting good at each individual task (don't fall off, lift your feet onto the pedals, pedal, put down power).
Also a free wheeling bike with brakes would be best.
My daughter is also learning to go no training wheels, I'll definitely try this method as she tells me she isn't ready. This technic should help her confidence so she will be ready.
Man you're so smart well done God bless you and your family 😇😇😇
That neighbourhood looks lovely.
Love this! Thanks for the teaching tip!!!!
I love the culture of being a good father.
Her little squeal at the end😆. Oddly enough I never learned to ride a bike until I was 13. Friends put me on their bike. No training wheels. They held each handle bar for me until I found my balance and finally was able to move on my own with no help. Took me a total of 2 hours.
Necessary is mother of invention .. well done Mr Canada 🙏
Looking this as a Father of two (almost three ;) ), Ian already proud of her!😊
Awesome Dad! I remember my father thought me how to ride a bike as well when I was a kid such a fun moment and the most unforgettable one was when he let go I didn’t even know that I was doing it on my own and he told me ‘you’re doing great , you are doing it all by yourself ‘ and I was so happy. May he R. I. P. Love you forever my loving father.👍👏🇨🇦
That's adorable bro.
I wish I had this encouragement and positive engagement when I was learning to ride a bike instead of my dad just calling me a fucking idiot for not knowing how to do it right away
Great idea the only problem is that causes a bit of extra weight on the bike so either if you child has been using training wheels it will be unusual and make it even harder or the second you take them off and the child rides it they’ll also have the problem of that extra weight is gone which will make it even harder to ride it also as you saw in the video it can cause some problems with stirring and balance because let’s face it that hockey tape is not gonna keep it from leaning
ADORABLE! 😊
I love being a Dad 😊 I miss those days they grow up so fast
Man, this is so brilliant!
Don't think I'll ever forget the day i learned to ride a bike, It's such a great feeling when you start getting the hang of it.
Dude I absolutely was breeeaking my baaaack like thaaat just a few days ago! We took off the training wheels and oh my God my back and my heart... 🤣🤣🤣
