How to Ride a Bike

You might want to start off by putting training wheels on the bike. You will probably also want to grab a helmet and a spotter, or someone who can be a witness to what happened when the paramedics come. After that has been situated, you can safely hop onto the bike, place your feet on the pedals, and press down in a circular motion, one foot at a time. If you want to go faster, simply press the pedals harder. If you are going too fast, and you are worried that you might crash into that upcoming mailbox, grab the metal brakes located on the handlebars and squeeze them toward you. You will probably need to ride around the neighborhood a few times until you feel comfortable. Once you do feel comfortable, you can take the training wheels off and practice riding that way. Then ride around your neighborhood a couple more times and if you haven't fallen off or crashed into anything, you will have mastered the skill of bike riding. Keep practicing and have fun!

This is very cute!! It's perfect directions on how-to ride a bike and very funny. I remember when I learned how to ride a bike and that was exactly how it worked out. My dad and mom helped me and it definitely took quite a few rides around the block until I was able to remove the training wheels!
