Cycling is becoming popular as more and more people start to reduce their CO2 emissions. If you want to learn how to ride a bicycle, I can help you learn on your own in one day. First, you need a bicycle and a spacious place to practice safely. Then follow the instructions below.

1) Grasp the handlebars and walk with the bike until you can steer it easily and stop it with the brakes.

This exercise helps you control the bike and operate the brake levers.

2) Lower the saddle until you can sit on it with both feet on the ground. While you sit on the saddle and hold on to the handlebars, walk with the bike at an increasing speed until you can lift both feet off the ground for several seconds.

This exercise helps you keep your balance on the saddle.

3) When you lift your feet off the ground, try putting your feet on the pedals and pedaling until you can ride with confidence.

This exercise is safe because you can stop the bike with the brakes and stabilize yourself by putting your feet on the ground.

Keep practicing until you master the art of riding. As a child, I learned to ride using a similar method. I am sure you can do it yourself.
