Subject: [2443715. Pedal Magic] TESTIMONY

August 2010

I have a son who is 5 yrs old and has a light form of dyspraxia. His therapists told us that learning to balance a bicycle would be a big positive step for him, and that it would help him in his coordination and balancing.

As a result I was trying to teach him over the past few weeks by using the most widely used method in my country, i.e. holding the bike for a few meters and then letting him alone. Unfortunately, it would not take more than 2 seconds for him to lose balance and fall down. We tried a few times but the fact that he could not make it discouraged him a lot and he stopped trying for a couple of weeks.

I realized that at this point of time he could not learn with this method so I searched the internet for some other method. This is when God helped me to find Pedal Magic.

The testimonies that I read helped me to go forward and try this method.

I saw the video a few times until the day we arranged for our first lesson.

While he was successful in the starting exercises, I found out that he had training wheels dependency (since he was using training wheels for a few months). After 2-3 extra lessons in order to remove this dependency, and while I was ready to conclude that this method did not work for him, he finally made it!

I could not believe what my eyes were seeing. Only parents who have children with disability can understand what I felt at that point of time. I was crying from joy.

After all the above I decided that it is my obligation to inform as many people as possible regarding this method. Further to this testimony I have promised to myself to inform as many ergotherapists/special educators (in Cyprus) as possible, hoping that another child may benefit as my son did.

Thank you very much, and God Bless you.

I received your website from an occupational therapist that my 6 year old son went to see.

My son and I watched the video. We went outside immediately after the video. We practiced the ... We did each exercise until he could do ... Unbelievably he rode his bike on his OWN in 15 minutes!!! I will have to now tell you that he has been practicing and trying to ride his bike for a little over a year. We have run along side him and also used training wheels. Nothing worked. This works!! I will be telling all the moms I know that have children who are having trouble learning to ride their bikes. I still am in shock that it was so easy. I was very doubtful watching the video that it would be so easy but it was. Thank you! I now have a confident bike rider!!!

Thank you. Utterly fantastic. Have tried many times over the last few years to teach my now 11 year old to ride. He'd fall off a few times and give up. Combed the net for solutions and found you. We went to the park yesterday after watching the video, did the exercises and off he went. He did not fall off once in the hour we were there and he is now so proud of himself. He keeps saying "i can't believe i can ride a bike now". Thank you so much. He will now be able to go off to school camp and not be embarrassed that he can't do the biking activity.

Thanks to Pedal Magic my 5 year old daughter learned how to ride her bike this weekend. She was very dependent on training wheels, she used them for a year, and teaching her to ride without them took a little more time but we are all very happy. I am convinced I would have struggled to teach her on my own. Your video saved us all from a lot of frustration. She mastered the ... exercises very quickly. Then for about a week I had her practice ... After a few hours of this she started to balance on two wheels. I knew at this point she was ready to ride. She is one happy little girl. Her Mom and Dad are also very happy. Thanks again.

I purchased this video this morning. It is my day off and I had promised my daughter, Elle, 6, that I would teach her to ride her bike this morning. We had tried last night, but it quickly ended in tears, skinned knees, and a sore back for Mom and Dad! So I purchased the video. My husband thought I was nuts and said Elle would just have to learn the hard way, like we did. I knew there had to be a better way. Plus, the scientist in me loved the physics of the whole idea. Well, by 3:00 today, she was riding her own bike without training wheels. She and I spent approximately an hour doing the drills. She was a training wheel user, so we had to break some bad habits... And just like in the first launch on the video, she took off. I know, right?!?!? She probably rode for about 30 seconds on her first try... She continued to improve each time she took off. She rode for about 2 hours. Then we went home and rested and at 6:00 went back and she road for another 2 hours. By 6:30 she was able to get the bike started without our help and was turning in both directions.

I cannot express how much we appreciate this video. Even my skeptic husband had to admit that he was wrong. The joy on her face and the confidence it gave her are heartwarming to us as parents. I cannot remember the feeling I had when I learned to ride a bike, but I am sure that it was an indescribable freedom. I'm thrilled to have experienced this joy with her today in a way that was not as traumatic as I had expected it to be...

Thanks again. It helped us have a great day and wonderful memories. We will be trying it next week with her little brother.

My six year old is stocky and has always been uncertain about her balance - I took them on a five mile bike ride two days ago, and she was leaning so hard on the left training wheel that the wheel is almost completely rubbed away. This was our third attempt at training wheels, and I decided there HAS to be another way. I started looking online and found pedal magic and was convinced after all the testimonials that covered such a vast range of beginners, all with almost immediate success. My daughter and I watched the 15 minute video this morning and we went out and took those training wheels OFF and threw them away. She was able to do the exercises completely correctly the first go through, but had to go through some of the remedial training wheel "untraining" before she was ready for the launch. I was almost ready to push her through her uneasiness, but thankfully allowed her to explore it on her own, and within the hour, this girl was RIDING!!! The rest of the day she was outside on her bike (in the rain) with a perma-grin on her face.

My five year old was watching all this - viewed the video, watched her sister ride within the hour - and was ready for her exercises, too! She saw
I had taken the training wheels off her bike, and strapped her helmet on. She's got a little longer of the training wheel "untraining" to do, but
she's determined, and ready to go!

I have to tell you - I'm pretty skeptical buying online "amazing secret" deals but after my kids turned 6 1/2 and their friends were all starting to cycle I thought what have I got to lose

We have twin boys and this morning took them around my block and both put up inherent resistance when I let go.

I watched the video and did 5 minutes with each kid in my backyard. We packed up the bikes went to a large car-lot at their elementary school and we did a 1 minute refresher course.

We couldn't believe it when I let go and saw them take off and cycle around for 30 seconds.

It was a proud proud day in our household and I don't think it would have happened without the simple techniques the video explained.

It should be on the national curriculum in every school!!

Subject: Great News!

I have to tell you this fabulous news! It’s a long story but you need some details to appreciate the gravity of this miracle!

Our 8-year old boy (Ethan) has mild cerebral palsy effecting his motor skills, muscle control, and balance. He also has a cautious personality and after two very bad bike (with training wheels) crashes (one involving a rose bush with lots of thorns), he really wanted nothing to do with a bike.

Six months ago we downloaded your program… then school started again and we lost our momentum. In early December, I (the mom) announced that what I really wanted for Christmas was for both of my kids (8 yrs & 5 yrs) to be able to ride their bikes without training wheels.

We made a family pact to spend 1 hour each Sunday afternoon, practicing their riding. My daughter was very excited and after just a few drills, was riding around on her own, leaving skid marks like a crazy girl.

Ethan did not want to but obediently tolerated an hour each week and after each not admitting to having any fun. But each week he progressed a little bit. He needed dad right next to him still but by the third week, Ethan was riding a few feet on his own.

The last two weeks we graduated from a secluded parking lot to a community bike path. Ethan did great! He even admitted that it was ~a little bit fun~. But the biggest milestone happened today. We went back to the park where Ethan had had his two big crashes.

Not only did he ride by himself, he said, ~Come on, Dad, I want to go around again.~ And Dad didn’t have to be anywhere near the bike...AND Ethan was able to start himself (no launching needed).

This is truly a little miracle for our precious son and for our family. What a big confidence boost! And what a great illustration for him to remember that sometimes you have to work hard to learn something new but with determination, practice, and the right strategy and tools, you can do it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you -- from the bottom of my heart. We know we could not have taught him without your techniques. I’ve already passed on your website to several friends. May God richly bless you!

Ushar Enterprises,

I admit I was skeptical. I have been trying to get my now nine-year-old son to learn to ride his bike for a few years now without any success. He was so freaked-out about falling and getting injured that he just wouldn't trust the learning process. I even tried taking the pedals off and coasting, etc. This was the main theme in one of your competitor's publications. No luck. Today we downloaded/viewed your video and then drove to the high school to put your drills to the test. My son was enthusiastic and engaged throughout the learning process, and when it came time to launch and "let go" (believe me that's no easy thing for a parent to do) he rode away and "got it". I can't tell you how proud and relieved I was.

Thanks a Million!!!

Pedal Magic,

My 5 year old son is now riding on his own after a short 10 minute training session and then a dad assisted launch. Little wobbily in the beginning and we had to break some training wheels bad habits but he is now riding on his own. Before pedal magic, we went for about 6 months with training wheels going off and on while we struggled with his balance and fear. Now, he is the proudest 5 yr old around and really excited about riding more. Next stop, learning to start on his own and stop without crashing.

Hi,

We watched the video; my daughter rolled her eyes and said I wasted my money.

We brought her bike up in to the living room, did the … exercises a while...

Went to a big parking lot and she had a fit but in about 15 minutes was riding on/off. We left came back an hour or so later and she jumped on and was riding just fine, still a little afraid of turning to her right, and a little shaky on the kickoff.

What I think is funny is her repeatedly telling my wife and I, still ... that the pedalmagic doesn't work... so 15 minutes of effort and she is riding in left handed circles endlessly, suspect she will have it all down in another day or two.

To all at Pedal Magic,

Look at the date and time I unlocked my Pedal Magic video and the date and time of this reply.

My wife and I have been trying to wean our 5 year old off his training wheels for about 2 weeks now. We were so frustrated and our son was scared and defeated. Every attempt inevitably ended in us being sore and tired and our son running into the house upset and saying he didn't want to learn to ride his bike.

After several days of considering your product we finally decided to purchase your video. After the three of us watched the video for the first time our son was begging to try it. Being late and near dark we couldn't go to a parking lot, but he was insistent. We went out onto our driveway to practice the two exercises and after five minutes he wanted to try to ride. We live on a cul-de-sac and have about one block before there is an intersection so we decided to let him try.

We have been watching him ride for the last 30 minutes or so and spent about 15 minutes on the phone with "papa" so our son could share the big news of his success!

Thanks and God Bless,

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Pedal Magic! I never learned to ride a bike, and on my 43rd birthday, I decided to buy a bike. Needless to say, my attempts to teach myself to ride have been completely fruitless and very frustrating. I hadn't touched my bike for the past two months until after watching your video yesterday afternoon - within one hour I was tooling around open spaces and a parking lot! I couldn't believe it! I was so excited I continued riding for about 2 1/2 hours; I was like a kid who didn't want to come in from playing.

I had to do your exercises on my own, and they worked. I clearly remember the moment it clicked in and I just started pedaling and adjusting - it was a true moment of pride and achievement. I can't wait to go out again this afternoon and continue developing my skills.

Thank you, Pedal Magic - that was the best $... I've ever spent. I will definitely recommend this method to others.

I am completely amazed! I am 36 years old and never learned to ride a bicycle when I was a child, despite my dad running me up and down the sidewalk more times than he or I would care to remember. I really thought there was something wrong with me!

I promised myself that when my first child (now 7 years old) was old enough to learn without training wheels, I would learn too.

We decided that we were ready this weekend. We downloaded and watched the Pedalmagic video on Sunday, pausing it to perform each of the exercises. My son and I each got to try "the launch" only a couple of times before rain chased us inside. And we were out on our street, which made it a bit more difficult because the surface was not level.

Last night (Monday), we followed the video's ... Within 15 minutes, I was riding a bicycle. I couldn't believe it!

My son is still working on it, but it slowly getting the hang of it. Even my 5-year old can perform the ... exercise properly and tried a few times to launch. They are both used to riding with training wheels, of course, and they are both afraid of falling. To address this, we are using the suggestions in the video to help them along. I have no doubt that they'll be riding very soon, too. This will give our family a whole new way to spend time together.

Thank you, Pedalmagic!

Thanks Reginald!

Our story...

I spoke to some co-workers recently about working with my 6 year old daughter, ..., on her bike riding. One co-worker recommended your video to me. She has been in training wheels for 3+ years. The last month or so we've been occassionally taking her out to try riding without training wheels as I held on behind her to balance. After some painful back attempts ... She was always scared of falling and did not want me to let go. Eventually, she was getting the point of giving up and wasn't interested in trying with the training wheels off anymore.

After watching the video, with her, ... I practiced with her at first and she was spot on ... as the video showed. I was assuming she'd need some time to practice at first since she was so dependant on using training wheels. However, since she took to knowing exactly what to do from the video I took a chance and gave her a good start after only holding on a ~10 seconds our first time with her pedaling with the training wheels off.

Right away she was successful and was overjoyed she was able to do it. Very quickly she was riding and minutes later was working on getting started by herself, also successful after 10-15 minutes. In summary, after the practice ... we watched she was riding in just minutes! Now she is so excited to be riding and looking forward to doing it again tomorrow.

...We plan on skipping training wheels with my 2 yr old son once he's ready to get on his own bike and knows his left from his right. ;)

Thanks so much!

In Him,

In 1991 when my son was 5 his grand dad bought him a small 20 inch 5 speed for Christmas. It was a nice bike for someone who already knew how to ride, training wheels weren`t possible due to the derailleur, I even set it up as a freewheel fixed gear bike but it didn`t help. After several painful falls and total discouragement, he resigned himself to ever riding a bike. I would try on occasion to get him on one and try again. He really didn`t want any part of it but would do it just to lose his temper and reinforce the fact he couldn`t do it. He went all through grade school, junior high school and high school not knowing how. I found your website last week and downloaded the techniques... I went over the drills in the video. My son rode a bicycle today for the first time in his life, he is 22 years old. He was riding within 20 minutes. It was an emotional experience for me, this has been a big stumbling block in his life. I can`t thank you enough for this technique.

I just wanted to say Thank You so much for making this video. It was really easy to follow and it works really really well. I was worried since my son is nine and almost ten that it would be really hard for him to learn how to ride his bike. He really wanted to but was really nervous the times we would go out and try. When I was researching better ways to teach him, I came across your ad and I am very happy I did. I took my son out to the back yard and did the balancing exercises and he seemed to be enjoying it and doing really good. So I told him we needed to go find a flat open lot just like the video says and he was really looking forward to it. Once we got there we did the balancing a few times more then just like the video I gave him a little push and off he went. He was riding by himself in less than five minutes. By the end he was starting and stopping all by himself and was doing great. So again Thank You for all your help. This was really an awesome help.

... Our oldest daughter has dysfunctional sensory integration -- her senses all work, but her brain doesn't process them in expected ways. Particularly delayed are her kinesthetic senses -- balance and reflexes were a challenge. In her case, she's "hyposensitive" -- body movement things don't register with any clarity or detail. She has to use a thermometer to set her bathwater temperature -- she can't distinguish hot or cold safely. I won't tell you how long it took her to master self-toileting, out of respect for her easily embarrassed sensibilities. (On the other hand, she's hypersensitive to some sounds, flavors, and to hairbrushing. Every DSI kid has their own pattern.)

We bought a Pedal Magic videocassette in May 2002. We'd bought her bicycle the preceding Christmas, but hadn't committed to getting her started. Something about me disliked the training wheels; maybe it was the unexpressed memory of how much trouble I had re-mastering
balance after we took my training wheels off. I'd already taken her training wheels off, but when we tried the readiness test on her, she just wasn't there. So, we put the project aside, and the bicycle waited in the garage. (And the videocassette went onto an out-of-the-way shelf.)

This summer, she and her younger sister (now 13-1/2 and 6-1/2) have been clamoring at me to teach them to ride. The younger girl had outgrown the quadcycle I'd mistakenly let her use. So we bought a new bicycle for youngest, ditched the training wheels immediately, readjusted the older girl's cycle (it barely fit -- now almost too small!). I reviewed the tape, and then played it for the girls. We practiced the exercises in the house for a few minutes each... We took them to a convenient parking lot at the high school this morning and ...

... stop me if you've heard this one before ... :-D ...

... we practiced a few minutes again on each exercise, and then did a launch. Oldest girl [with dysfunctional sensory integration] took off perfectly, doing a nice long loop back to our parking spot with no troubles at all. She did three long runs in all, and was clamoring to learn how to self-launch, and then how to brake. It's totally amazing and delightful to us, and a baffling bit of normalcy in what has been a complicated and un-routine life for her.

Youngest didn't go quite so smoothly... I think we need her to ... [go through Pedal Magic's remedial exercises] ... (But she /wants/ so badly to self-launch, and brake, and the rest. It'll only be another few days of practice, I think. She's stubborn like her mom!)

But, all in all, one of the nicest sets of Father's Day presents I've had.

Our thanks to your family for sharing the amazing gift of Pedal Magic with ours and with the other happy users around the world. Warmest wishes for continued success and happiness,

Hi,

We used Pedal Magic to teach my almost-seven-year old how to ride two years ago, after all else had failed. (It took about 20 minutes)...

I decided to try it on my younger son (5 1/2 years old) on the first warm day this spring -- which was Memorial Day. He took a little longer than his brother (a half hour) as he was very conditioned by his training wheels.

I had forgotten that the video talks about doing corrective exercises for a few days if there is a real training-wheel problem. So when he didn`t get it in the first 15 minutes, I decided to just forget about it for awhile and do some training exercises instead. So we did about 10 minutes of training exercises and then right before we quit for the day I just asked him if he wanted to try riding by himself one more time. He said yes and took off and he`s been riding ever since!

Once again, thank you. We love you and Pedal Magic!

It was hard to get a head-on shot because he couldn't start by himself, so I had to launch him and then run ahead to try to get the shot. :)

I must add to the testimonials, much to my sheer surprise!!

For background, my almost 7-year-old HATED riding his bike with training wheels - he was always very nervous when the bike "tipped". However, he was completely petrified at the mere thought of taking off the training wheels --- as was I. I envisioned frustration and tears leading to years of continued training wheel riding. I searched the Internet for solutions... and stumbled upon your website.

My son enjoyed watching the video, and practicing the techniques. After mastering the techniques, my son was still VERY nervous. He refused to be "launched" so my husband ran after him one time. On the next try, he was "launched" and pedaling by himself. We were all stunned. He continued to practice, mastering turns and stops. My son was so proud of himself; he even made award ribbons for my husband and me to thank us. I can't believe he learned to ride a bike without a single fall. It was one of our most amazing experiences.

My son first called your video "amazing", and then revised it to "stupendous". We can't thank you enough - and look forward to teaching our daughter soon!

Hi and thanks for your great product!

My son Joel (age 6) had been riding a bike with training wheels but still had little or no confidence, in fact I think the training wheels were detrimental! He would lean to one side and use the training wheel on that side to hold himself upright. That's okay until that wheel hits a hole or a dip and then disaster!

Last night I watched the video alone then Joel sat and watched with me. Next we went out into the garden and practised the exercises for 15 minutes or so. Surprisingly he seemed to grasp the concept very quickly!

This morning we went to the local park, I found a flat piece of grass (football pitch) that was unoccupied. I went through the exercises again with Joel for about 5 minutes.

Within a minute he rode around 20 yards by himself, we continued several times more riding in a straight line with me launching him.

After around 15 minutes on the grass I took him to a small flat car park, I showed him how to start moving without my help, after a few attempts he managed to get himself moving without a "launch", within minutes he could ride in circles in either direction!

Thanks to your technique 18 months of frustration (for all concerned) are at an end!

I did the basic drills with her once again and then showed her ... She did that for about 2 minutes. I moved her to the ... for a little longer. After about 8-10 minutes total drill time I did a launch with her. She was gone. There were several families close by on the grassy area for a soccer camp. A few of the moms had come over to watch my other two navigating the cones. Once my 4 year old took off and rode by herself a huge cheer erupted from the soccer crowd. (I didn't realize how many had been watching.) Several people approached asking me how I'd done this so quickly as they'd also been on site yesterday watching while I worked with my 5 and 7 year old.

I cannot believe how wonderful this system worked! I have 3 young daughters. We unknowingly started them on training wheels more than a year ago when they got their first bicycles. We don't ride often but every time we did my husband and I cringed at the wobbly nature of the bikes with the training wheels and the lack of awareness the girls had of how far the trainers stuck out...they continually flipped over or got stuck or just looked unsteady and unsafe. Perhaps that's why we didn't go out to bike with them more often. It caused us to cringe just watching.

I decided to try to work with my 7 year old yesterday to move away from the trainers. I raised them higher off the ground but it made us even more nervous to watch her wiggle and jiggle down the road. I came in that night and did an internet search for some solutions to the problem. I found your video and reluctantly typed my credit card number in thinking it was sure to be a waste of my time and money.

My girls and I watched it through once last night. Today after swim lessons we loaded up the van and went to the local elementary school. While my 5 and 4 year old played I walked my 7 year old through the drills (I didn't do the training wheel drill). After 1 session ... I pushed her off and she was gone...Literally in less than 3 minutes. Her only issue was starting off by herself which she mastered after about 10 minutes with ease.

I then called my 5 year old over and did virtually the same. It took a little longer for her to get ... the balanced drills but once she ..., we did the launch and she too was gone. She picked up the self start much quicker than my 7 year old but is still a bit unsteady on the navigational aspect. That will surely come with practice.

I made the attempt at that time with my 4 year old. She can do the drills but stops pedaling when I let go of her on the launch. We will try again tomorrow.

Needless to say...It was well worth the time and money. I had 2 out of 3 off trainers in less than 10 minutes total!

Thanks for a fantastic program!

We used the method with both our boys; 10 year old Chris and 8 year old Jonathan. Chris had never had a big interest in bike riding, and resisted our attempts to teach him in the past. Jonathan had been riding his scooter and his Heelies (sneaker-skates) for some time so had more interest, but was following his brother's lead of nervous resistance. So we found a school on the coast that had flat, wide open area for practice and set to work. Within minutes, both had mastered the pre-riding exercises and we needed very little running and holding the seat to get them started. For Jonathan, it was easier, having the scooter balance skill. Once they were balancing on their own (5 minutes tops) they just needed practice. Chris took half a day to learn to push off and start on his own but in a few days they both doing well and turning, riding over grass and asphalt. The timing was right, and the enthusiasm was there. Thank you for this method. It was worth it to us to have a system to follow and to see such quick success!

I am an adult who never learned how to ride a bike as a child due to a medical condition that has since resolved. I also have visual deficits including limited peripheral vision so needless to say I expected learning to be a big task. I am happy to say within 30 minutes of being on the bike, I was taking my first tentative unassisted ride halfway across a parking lot. After three 30-45 minute sessions, I am riding on my own- granted I still have turning and starting the bike on my own without coasting first to gain momentum to figure out, but nonetheless I am riding and no falls or adults running behind me holding the bike was involved in the learning process. So excited about riding a 2 wheeler that I am going to get an Electra Townie this coming weekend and getting rid of the cheap learning bike....I know I sound like a little kid in the candy store. Anyways, thanks so much for your help. I will definitely recommend you to anyone...By the way, the person who took on the task of "teaching" me says thank you for taking days or weeks off of the conventional learning process.

Thanks to your video, she knew exactly what do to keep her balance on the bicycle. It has given her great confidence and taken the guess-work out of learning to ride. You should have seen the joy in her face as she RODE a bicycle yesterday, without training wheels, for the first time in her life.

When our daughter was 4, we bought her a little bike with training wheels. When she was 5-1/2 we started trying to teach her to ride without the training wheels. We've spent the last 3 years trying to accomplish this using everything from encouragement, motivation, bribes and (though I hate to admit it) threats of losing her bike altogether. We had all given up and figured that she'd never ride. She had reached the point where she said "I hate my bike."

Today we bought your video.

We were a little freaked out by the 7 passes aspect, afraid that the process would be complex and we'd have to watch it several times and take notes and so forth.

We unlocked the video, watched it once and my husband immediately went outside with our daughter. He worked with her for 10 minutes, doing the second exercise until she could perform perfectly ... We then went to the high school parking lot, launched her and she was riding like a pro inside 30 seconds. A one minute lesson on the brakes, and how to start off and she was grinning ear-to-ear, stopping and starting and riding in circles all around the parking lot.

I have to say, when she rode up to me, stopped and said "Mama, I LOVE riding my bike" I knew that this was the BEST $20 I'd ever spent. Thank you so much for the joy I see in my daughter's face as she rides around the parking lot saying "I'm flying! I'm flying!" ...

We have been so frustrated in trying to get our twin sons on their bikes. They didn't like riding them with training wheels the last few years. So they had given up on bikes - even with all their friends riding bikes. I just happened to find your site while searching for anything on the internet that might help. I was very skeptical that a short video really was a silver bullet - but it actually was!

We watched the video together and about 30-40 minutes later - they both were riding. I was totally amazed!

Thanks!

Dear Reginald,

We are SOLD on your "product." ... we are now true believers!!! Here's our story:

At the beginning of LAST summer (2005), our then-4-year-old's training wheels broke on his bike. They were so bent and warped that they no longer held him steady. This frustrated him to no end.

Our 4-year-old niece had just begun riding a 2 wheel bike (without training wheels-- she had a big brother to watch and copy) and we told our son, Ethan, that it was time for him to learn as well. We didn't want to buy another set of training wheels just to have them break and bend again.

Well, after countless efforts throughout last summer, he finally gave up completely and declared that he would NEVER ride a bike. Period. So, we bought him a 3-wheeled scooter.

This spring, we took out his 2 wheeler again and gave it another shot. He was clearly ready to ride, but just couldn't seem to get the hang of it. Fall after fall, he was frustrated. This morning, he threw in the towel and said, "NEVER AGAIN!" He got out his scooter and headed for the park. I brought him back into the house and asked my hubby to download your video. We had gotten the website information from a friend. We thought it was time to give it a try.

Our son watched the video with us... we put the bike in the minivan and headed for the school parking lot... Seriously-- SERIOUSLY-- in less than 2 minutes after doing this, our son said that he was ready. So, off he went. OFF HE WENT! Across the parking lot, all by himself, grinning like a chimpanzee the whole way. That was it!! He was off and riding.

We're still working on the launch. But once he gets going, he doesn't stop. Around and around and around he goes. He loves it, and we're so proud of him.

Thank you... You made our little 5 year old a very very very happy little boy-- and you made us very proud and happy parents!

Now, we have an almost-4 year old... we'll see how it goes with him. Soon! (First, I must recover from this morning!!)

Sincerely, Felicia and Doug Ross

... We've been struggling for years with my seven year old to get him up and bicycling and been quite frustrated. After watching Pedal Magic, I took him to a nearby Church parking lot and
had him launched in about five minutes. He's in heaven! It's like we've given him wings.

I studied physics in University but never stopped to think what keeps you upright on a bike. Had often heard the "gyroscopic action" myth, but simply spinning the front wheel quickly shows how weak that force is. Brilliant insight! I'm teaching my five year old daughter next - with my son's now "expert" assistance - but it's taking a bit longer; she's been on training wheels and quite good at it for a while so we're working on the unlearning part.

Many thanks,

I always meant to write and thank you for helping me to teach my 7 year old to ride a bike. We struggled for years with the typical- painful method.

I was about to give up when I did an internet search and discovered your method. The best $20 I think I ever spent in my life! I really mean it. Think about how much it means to a child to be able to ride a bike. 20 bucks, what a bargain.

I took my 7 year old out and worked on the drills with him for about 30 minutes. Then we went to a nice level parking lot and tried to ride using the techniques we had practiced. He was riding within 15 minutes! I about cried I was SO proud of him!

It gets better!

We brought his Mom and 2 younger brothers (5 and 2) out to show them what he could do. After a little while, I asked the 5 year old if he wanted to try. He said he did. Even though I didn't have much faith that he would be able to ride, we spent about 15 minutes working on the drills. He wasn't doing well at first, but when he was..., I thought we'd give it a try.

I got him up on his bike and walked about 20 feet with him and HE TOOK OFF!! Riding faster and better than his older brother!

It was one of the most exciting, rewarding, and proud days of my life!! (Not to mention, I was my wife's hero all over again!! LOL)

Thanks SO MUCH for the method!!

You made a fantastic impact on my children's lives!

Pedal Magic is pure magic! My son was the only child in his second grade class who hadn't learned yet and he was deeply embarrassed at a 'biking' party.

I tried one time the old school way, huffing and puffing beside him, assuring him that a fall wouldn't 'hurt too bad,' and thinking there's got to be a better way.

That night, we watched the pedal magic video together. The next day, after school, we found a big parking lot. 4 minutes ..., a gentle push, and he was off.

Now we're working on his 3 year old brother. May take him a few days because of training wheel conditioning, but know its going to work.

Thanks for an AWESOME product. Your simple insight into the physics of learning was really a stroke of genius.

Have already recommended to every parent I've seen this week!

You probably don't read this but just in case,

After a year of frustration, my son and I viewed your video this afternoon. Twenty minutes later he was cruising along on his own.

Previously, he used training wheels and was very comfortable. A year ago, we took the wheels off. The first day he was wobbly but okay. The second day, he fell down and scraped himself and lost all confidence. Since then
any time he approached the bike he got so nervous, he could not ride without help. I've lost count of the times we tried and finally we gave it a break. Today was the first day again and your video was invaluable.

Dear Ushar Enterprises;

I am writing to thank you! The Pedal Magic process is really magic ... well, it certainly feels like it! We've been trying to teach our 6-year-old son to ride for around two years, on-and-off. Its been very traumatic ... two training wheels, one wheel, no wheels ... well we tried the lot. Running in front of, next to, behind him. Mom, Dad, Grandma. Nothing worked. He was really upset. I was desperate and looked on our favorite Internet search engine, came across your site, and was taken with the honest and straightforward language, images and
testimonials. I watched the video once ... worked with my son for 4 or 5 minutes in our garage on the ... ([2nd drill] which he got very quickly!) ... then off to the local church parking lot ... literally within moments of letting him go, he was off. It was one of the greatest highlights! We are all amazed. I have never known any kind of education to go from theory to practice in --literally-- under 8 minutes.

Thank you again, and please feel free to use this letter or myself as a reference, any time.

I just wanted to let you know how much your Pedal Magic video helped me and my daughter. We'd tried unsuccessfully to teach her to ride her bike on Friday night. I was exhausted after just 10 minutes. I knew there was something I needed to tell her in order for her to maintain balance, but I just didn't know what it was. I did a Google search for "teach a child to ride a bike" and came across your video.

I had no trouble downloading, testing and viewing the file. My daughter (almost 8) and I watched the video
once and then headed out for lesson 2 on Saturday. Because the bike is a bit big for her, and because she's been using training wheels, she wasn't immediately able to ride on her own, but she quickly got the idea of the
counterbalance exercise and I was able to help her for a full 45 minutes because she was doing much of the balancing on her own.

On Sunday morning, we went out again, and after 5 minutes she was riding on her own! Great
product and the website is very easy to work with. Well done and thank you.

Thank you for your reply, your interest and again for your product. The experience definitely has NOT faded as I am still amazed every time my son gets on his bike - with or without us! I can't wait to get my 4 year old started but for safety reasons we're waiting until he can pay a little better attention to his surroundings : ) It's not as if he doesn't ask though! I think he's as anxious to learn as I am to teach him!

I'm very flattered that you put my email on your site. I meant every word from the bottom of my heart. While I didn't write it to gain anything from it, I hope you gain everything from it because you've made so many people so very happy. I wish you nothing but the best!

[First a note from the new bike rider, and then a note from her mother...]

Dear Mr. Joules,

I had been trying unsucfessfully to learn how to ride a bike for years when my mother found a link to the Pedal Magic website. Every time I tried to learn how to ride a bike previously, I injured myself in some painful way or couldn't even muster up the courage to tell the person behind me to let go of the bike. This time, it took less than ten minutes for me to be able to pedal by myself, after I had done some of the excersises demonstrated in the video that we had purchased! I couldn't believe it at first, but I was able to do it many more times with the same result... I'm so glad that I don't have to shirk from going biking in the park with my friends or from going on my own bicycle rather than a tandem when my family goes on bicycle trails anymore. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Allison Douglis
===============================================
Dear Mr. Joules,

For various reasons, my daughter, Allison, had found herself in middle school and still unable to ride a bike. We had tried on and off throughout the years to get her to ride, but it always seemed quite hopeless. (For two vacations in a row, my husband and Allison were forced to take out a tandem bike when we did family bike rides.) We recently decided to purchase a new, larger bike for Allison, since she is now adult height, with the idea that we'd make one last, concentrated effort this summer to get her to ride. We immediately found that it is not so simple to get training wheels for a large bike. I was, in fact, browsing the Internet, looking for adult training wheels, when I came across the news segment on Pedal Magic. I'm not given to throwing money away on Internet offers, but the news story lent credibility to your venture. Besides, I felt desperate, and $20 for the 
video beat $129 for adult training wheels.

We immediately watched the video and had Allison try the first two exercises in our house. These seemed to give her confidence, as had simply watching real people learn to ride on both the news segment and your video.
We had no time then to do the launch, but we found some time very late in the day to try. We first walked to a nearby parking lot, which proved not to be level enough to do the launch. Allison almost gave up at that point, but I suggested we walk a little farther to a perfectly flat school lot. On the way, we met up with a person we had not seen in some time, and rather than be rude to her, I stayed behind to speak with her, while Allison and my husband forged ahead. My friend and I had spent a bit of time catching up, and I was just about to leave her to walk on to join my family at the school lot, when I saw them returning. I mentioned to my friend that this could not be a good sign, and I thought then I had been foolish to think that your video would magically change things.

Well, I was wrong. It turned out that Allison had fairly quickly found herself riding, and she had come back to show me herself on the more uneven lot. She was actually proficient enough in that short time that the unevenness of the lot did not phase her at all, and I was absolutely amazed to see her riding. As she and I later walked back to our house, she had a look on her face that was a mixture of pride and amazement.

The Pedal Magic video was well worth the investment. Your method is so reasonable, simple, and methodical, yet it never occurs to most, if not all, parents to teach their children to ride bikes in this way. By the way, Allison and my husband estimated that it took under 15 minutes to get her riding.

Thank you,

Dear Mr. Ushar,

My name is Aaron Brooks. My son Danny, age 10 has wanted to learn how to ride a bicycle for a long time. I have gone through the frustration of trying to help him learn to ride with no avail. He was afraid to ride and
was making excuses as to why he did not want to learn to ride a bicycle. We recently purchased him a new "Chopper Style" bicycle thinking that it may again rekindle his interest in learning to ride a bicycle. He was lukewarm to the idea of learning to ride due to the past experiences with falling. I did a search on the internet on methods to teach a child to learn to ride. I came across your system and figured that the price of $20.00 was fair and if it did not succeed was not too much money to lose. I am delighted to report to you that after following your method my son was able to ride a bicycle today for the first time after practicing what was in the video in
less than 10 minutes!! I am ecstatic to say the least. He used a basic bicycle to learn on and after about 30 minutes of riding he was able to ride "His New Bicycle" for the first time. It gave me great pleasure in knowing
that he will now be able to enjoy the pleasure of riding a bicycle all due to watching your video and practicing the exercises in it. To say the entire family (His Mother, Sisters and I) are very proud of him is an understatement.

Once again thank you for a very simple system that was easy to follow and enabled my son to finally overcome his fear and accomplish something that he has wanted to do for years.

I will tell all of my friends and family about your system!

Thank you again.

Dear Pedal Magic,

I thought that we would be the ones to prove you wrong. Instead, it was I that was proven wrong. My son is 7 years old and fairly big for his age - a little over 4 1/2 feet tall and about 90 lbs. I've tried just about everything to try to teach him to ride since he was 4 with no success. For that reason, neither he nor I had any interest after that. Recently, he's been getting upset at being left behind by all of his friends when they want to go riding so I figured I'd try teaching him again. He never got used to training wheels frankly because he kept bending them due to his size and by overcompensating. They were very flimsy anyway because they just don't make them like they used to - but that's GREAT because otherwise I wouldn't have found your system! Had I gone with the kind of training wheels I thought he needed, I would have paid at least $100!!

Instead, against my overwhelming skepticism, I ordered your video. After watching it once, I said "There's no way!" but what did I have to lose other than another $100? I sat him down to watch it once and we went to work. Granted, it didn't take 5 minutes for him to learn. I started to worry after almost 2 hours that even you couldn't help us. I then realized that we were just trying too hard so we decided to stop for the day. The next day, we sat and watched the video again, playing even closer attention, then went back outside. In about 45 minutes while doing the last steps of the system, he PULLED AWAY FROM ME! When I finally realized I was actually running to keep up, I stopped in my tracks in awe! Here I was, standing in the middle of our practice area crying my eyes out in disbelief. After 3 frustrating years, it only took a total of less than 3 hours. Where my son only had moderate interest before, he now BEGS to ride every day. I was so proud that my wife and I bought bikes so we can all ride together - which we now do every day. 

I can't begin to tell you how pleased and how appreciative I am. I've already told everyone about your system (even a woman we met in the store while buying our bikes who happened to be buying one for her child...with training wheels!) and can't sing its praises enough. I just "knew" this was gonna fail. I am SO happy to be wrong. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you!!

My 4 year old daughter learned to ride her bike in less then 2 days. She wanted to learn how to ride her bike without the training wheels. We had been practicing for 2 weeks with no results. I didn't know how to teach her,
and she kept falling. The minute I would let go of the bike she would fall. I didn't know how to make her understand how to balance the bike. She was very upset and started becoming fearful of falling. I was getting very impatient and frustrated and not to mention very tired. She finally just gave up in tears. I decided to search the web to see if I could find something there that could help me help her. and I saw your web-site.
$20.00 was a small price to pay to make my daughter happy so I bought the program and my daughter and I watched it. after seeing how easy is was my daughter was so excided to try again. We did the exercises for about 15 minutes and then she took her bike out for a little ride. I notice the big difference right away... The 2nd day we did the exercises for about 5 minutes and before I knew it she was off riding her bike. She was so excided, she was jumping up and down and shouting mommy I did it! I did it! then she got back on her bike and started riding it around the block. She would shout to everyone that she passed how she had learned to ride her bike. You can only imagine how proud and happy I was to see my little girl happily riding her bike.

This is just another note from a satisfied customer. I have to tell you that your video was well worth the $20! My boy/girl twins just turned 7 and they had been riding bikes with training wheels for close to four years.
Initially, we did it because they are very tall for their age and outgrew tricycles at a young age. Then we got lazy and didn't push getting rid of the training wheels. Finally, a few weeks ago, peer pressure got to them and
they decided to try two-wheeling. It wasn't much of a success -- we used the Mom/Dad run along and hold the bike up method. 

Like others I've read comments from on your website, I decided the worst that could happen with Pedal Magic was that I'd be out $20. But it was amazing. Even though the video said it could take several days for hard-core
training wheel addicts to get the new system, my two were riding the first day. They remained a bit timid about it, so we've been practicing every day, and they like to start with the exercises as a warm-up. But by the second
day, they were riding for 10 or more minutes at a stretch without us running beside them. Our job was just to launch them again when they stopped. Now they are mastering the technique of launching themselves.

So in short, it's a miracle! Thanks so much. -- Becky Hensley [Palos Park, Illinois]

Dear Mr. Ushar,

After an unsuccessful attempt at ditching the training wheels last weekend, I surfed the web looking for advice and stumbled onto Pedal Magic.

Didn't want to get scammed, so I checked around and the feedback was all good. My wife was skeptical, but when she took my son to a birthday party today, I downloaded the video and watched it along with my 6 year-old daughter. Got her bike out, lowered the seat, threw it and her in the car and drove to an empty parking lot. Spent 10 minutes going through the exercises, and on the first "launch", she was off and riding. Another 10 minutes, and she was starting off by herself with no help, steering and braking well- she had it licked!

Back in the car to go home and show mom, with a stop along the way for a reward slurpee!

As someone with a background in science, I could see the physics was correct before I ever bought the video. But how to turn that knowledge into information a six-year old could process, and more importantly, translate to physical movement? The exercises are the answer, and they are elegant in their simplicity. Best $ I ever spent... I hope you get rich, Mr. Ushar, you deserve it...

PS- will you please consider teaching GOLF?!?

Dear Mr. Ushar

I just wanted to thank you for your video... My wife was one of the 1/9 adults who didn't know how to
ride a bike. Yesterday I took a chance and bought a bike for my wife's 26th birthday. When we were first married 6.5 years a go I put her on a bike in hopes that she would learn quickly and want to do it the rest of
her life. After the first attempt she was so upset with me that I decided that I would let riding a bike go for a while.

Today after watching your video, we practiced in the garage for 10 minutes, afterwards we went to a large parking lot and put the process into action. After working with it for another 10 min she started to pedal by herself. After another 10 minutes on her own she was doing laps around the parking lot comfortably. She now has more confidence and a willingness to continue riding a bike.

Thanks to you, she was able to accomplish something that she has been unable to do for 26 years.

Thank You,

Hi

I'd just like to pass on our thanks for your simple yet brilliant technique. My son learned to ride his bike "with none babywheels" today...aged 3 years and 20 days!!! It took me about 4 hours split between a morning and afternoon session and now he is the talk of the street as there are other kids still hanging onto their training wheels aged 5.

Please find attached a picture of a very happy little boy - a day I will never forget.

To add icing to the cake, I promised him that as soon as he could ride his bicycle without training wheels, he could have a motorbike (he has had a 50cc quad bike since he was 2). Today, he rode a Honda XR50 motorbike with only a tiny bit of help from me - good job I had already bought it and hidden it in the shed!!

As many other thankful customers, I would like to thank you a lot too! It did work!! My son is riding!!! After 2 weeks of frustration and "bad habits" (training wheels) for almost 2 years!

I don't ride a bike myself, but was able to teach him after watching the training movie once by myself and once with him. Third time we watched it just to review.

Here is my story. My son is 5 years and 10 months old. Him and his twin brother switched from tricycles to the bikes with the training wheels since age of 4. They loved riding!

About 3 weeks ago we took the training wheels off and started teaching them to ride without training wheels. One learned it on the 4th day, but the other did not. It was really frustrating. He did not want to practice. He hated even the idea of trying it, I was forcing him, etc. I felt so bad for him.

So last week I started searching on the internet for the training classes in our area and came across pedalmagic. I did not think twice. I thought I don't risk anything. I bought it.

First day (last Thursday) it was kind of frustrating. We watched the movie, went to the open area, did the exercises, he was ready according to the movie, did the launch, he did pedal 3-4 times!!!... But after this he could not do it again. Was usual story - tears etc. But it was late in the evening, maybe that was the reason, I don't know.

Friday we did not have a chance to practice.

Saturday morning we went to the park again, and that was a success!!! He did it almost right away. We kept practicing for about 45 minutes. He successfully did many launches. I intentionally did not asked him to start the bike by himself not to cause the frustration and have him be satisfied with his results and be proud of himself.

Then yesterday, Sunday, on Mother's day, we watched the movie 3rd time to see how the trainee started to ride by herself with no launch. Then we went to our usual place and he went on the bike all by himself from the first time!!

You made me a best Mother's Day gift ever! I was so happy and proud of him and myself. But it is really your movie which helped! Thanks again!

I would recommend it to anybody I know! (Already told today at work to some people).

Just wanted to let you know how great we think your product is! Our eight year old son watched the video twice and road without training wheels on the first attempt. He was disappointed when he got your video as a Christmas present. You should have seen how proud he was!

Many thanks!

Dear Ushar & Reginald,

SUCCESS!

My daughter & husband watched the video once, we discussed the principals of the technique with our daughter, and then gave it a try.

That was Sunday afternoon. In 5 minutes she was riding on her own.

Today, we took our bikes to a local paved bike trail, and she rode several miles - no problems. In fact, she was so confident that she decided to ride on ahead a little bit to check out the signs up ahead, because Mom & Dad were going too slow!

Thank you so much. This was the one hurdle in her life that she'd never been able to overcome, and it truly upset her. Now she's talking about riding new trails as often as possible, and feels so proud that she can finally ride a bike like her friends.

Wow...she may not be Lance Armstrong, but after only five minutes she took her first solo ride. I am amazed. Her dependency on the training wheels is still occasionally visible, but I'm confident that she'll overcome that with a little more practice. With just a week and a half until the "First Grade Bike Rodeo", I think she'll be ready to ride.

I would have gladly paid $11000to see the smile on my daughter's face after she realized that she was riding on her own. Watch for sales of Pedal Magic to increase in the Sun Prairie, WI area. I will gladly spread the word.

Thank you,

John[, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin]

My son has only one ear and we think he may have problems balancing because of it. Do you have any experience with this.
-----

Hello,

This is the first time since we started in 1996 anyone has mentioned this situation, so we are not sure if what is in this note will be of much help.

As you know, ears are key sensors the brain uses to determine balance, so we are not sure if your son will receive sufficient signals to determine fast enough that the bike is going out of balance; sensing that is necessary to be conditioned to take corrective action in time to keep bike in balance.

Our hope is that we don't know enough and that we are wrong. We also hope that in a situation such as your son's the brain has learned over time to figure out imbalance using all other sensory signals available to it. If that is indeed the case, your son will learn to ride with Pedal Magic...

...We do hope your son learns to ride, because to him it may be an important event in his life at his current age.

Many thanks and all the best,

Hi, we tried your system with our son (the one missing an ear) and he was riding his bike within a few minutes. He still has to practice of course (especially turning) but we are very pleased with how this worked... Again, thanks so much and good luck with your business. Sincerely, Laurie Sippel.

Hi,

This is such great news. Not a day has gone by since a few days after we shipped your order that I did not think of what must be happening with your son and his riding efforts. We do not like to intrude in our customers' efforts to solve their specific circumstances with Pedal Magic, so all I could do was wonder.

We think this means your son has developed other ways to sense balance. We hope he feels great sense of achievement with his mastering of bicycle balancing and that this has affirmed his belief that he can do anything anybody else can. Our hearty congratulations to your son!

We would certainly love to post your feedback email at our web site as many other children and parents can benefit from knowing about your experience. Ordinarily we post feedback with name and town of the customer. Would this be okay with you?...

...We do not want to be presumptuous...

Many thanks and best regards,

Reginald Joules

We would be glad to indorse your product. We took Brian to practice riding after school today and in a few minutes he was chasing his Dad around the parking lot. I really thought that it would take another year to teach him, so this quick process made my husband and I both very happy. In addition, he wanted to keep riding instead of begging to stop as has happened before your system. Thanks again, Laurie, Rich and Brian Sippel

I couldn't believe it! This weekend, I watched your video with my 5-year-old daughter. To be honest, I didn't think there was much to the video. It was so short and 1/2 of the information was about copyright! But my daughter GOT IT right away. We did the exercises for about 5 minutes and she said "See, Mommy, this is all I have to do" and she got each exercise correct right away. Then I took her down to the cul-de-sac, launched her and off she rode!! I was speechless! She kept riding for longer distances each time I launched her. No falling, no tears. Yesterday she begged me to go out to ride again. I'm still launching her but she can stop on her own, turn, and pedal like crazy--never falling. She is so proud to be the first one in her kindergarten class to ride a two-wheeler. I have recommended your site to several other moms in the last couple of days. I hope you get LOTS of orders! Thanks for a great product.

We began to feel our 5-year-old was hopeless and were skeptical about
your 2-5 minute claims.

After viewing the tape we received today, and performing ... for a few minutes - which our son grasped instantly - we put him on his bike. Within 90 seconds our son rode for the first time...!

The look on his face was something we'll never forget.

We were not charged any duty, probably because of the $5 declared value. The tape was delivered through normal Canada Post channels.

My 6 year old seemed ready to learn to ride her bike without training wheels and I was dreading taking them off and seeing her fall and get hurt (like we all did when we learned). I found your product on the internet and decided to give it a try. I made sure she could do ... I walked with her about 30 feet and gradually removed my hand. She was riding by herself, and learned to stop by herself in approx 10 minutes!!. Still working on the launch but had to let you know how thankful I am for your product. No scrapes, no bruises, just one proud child!!.

Hello Reginald,

We received the videotape on Friday and watched it Friday night, and then again on Sunday.

My son and I went out to a large parking lot, and did the exercises.

About 45 minutes later we came back to the house, and I had to tell my wife that your assertion that it would take 5 minutes to learn to ride a bicycle was incorrect.

It took 2!

Patrick was ready. Prior to receiving your video, he and I had been trying, and he almost had it. I understand physics, but wasn't able to make him understand it. It was the exercises that did the trick. He did ... perfectly the first time we tried... I launched him, and he wobbled the first time, but went as far as he could the second time!

He was able to launch himself after 15-20 minutes of trying.

He only stopped cycling twice yesterday. Once to go home and get his mom and her godmother to come to the parking lot to see him go, and at the end of the day, because he was overheating (his helmet is a little too well insulated).

We're all ecstatic. Thanks for everything.

P.S., I just read your note about the Canadian Customers.

"Caution Canadian customers: In June 2003 one Canadian customer reported that their Customs charged them $10 duty. We had never heard this before. We are now declaring the value of shipment to be $5 instead of $27. This is what we do when shipping to our UK distributor, since license and shipping costs are not assessed duty."

I got hit with the $10.00 too.

It isn't actually duty. It is about $5.00 for our Sales taxes (15% in Ontario, which your reduction in value will help) and $5.00 for handling fees (which your reduction in value won't).

A small price to pay for a great success.

I had to write and THANK YOU for the video. My son is riding his bike!! He is just grinning from ear to ear and his confidence is growing everyday. My husband was amazed at how easy it was and how quickly it worked. He was the biggest skeptic on how a video could help and that I bought it over the internet. Well, my son riding his bike without assitance and not wanting to stop (when we used to have to make him practice on his training wheels) is proof enough that your system works! It was worth every penny and we will recommend the video to everyone we know! My son practiced his excercises for a few mninutes a couple of days. Then I worked with him - coaching just like it says- for a few minutes one day until I was confident his instincts had been corrected. Then we did the launch. Within a few minutes, he was riding. No tears, no running, no terrible falls! He road in the parking lot last night until we made him stop. He now is asking us to let him ride everyday! It really works! Just a simple concept that can be learned and practiced. My son, husband and I all thank you!

Dear Mr. Joules,

Thank you for sharing your information with me. Thanks to my mother I got your video. I remember when I was 8, my father and I would go out for me to learn to ride. We would come back an hour later with me scraped up and my father tired. We would both feel so frustrated. We got the video on Friday afternoon. After I watched the video, I immediately tried the ... exercises. I did very well with them. After that I was anxious to ride my bike. My family and I found a nice flat parking lot that was empty. My father did the Launch and I went riding! Just like you said, it took me less than five minutes! I could feel the air rushing past me and it felt so cool to be going so fast! I was amazed. I only crashed three times that first evening. Each time I've crashed it was because was I was either going too fast or I ran into a curb. We went out the next night and my family and I had a picnic. I only crashed once that time and I was able to launch myself and mastered left and right turns. Thanks to you, now I can ride to the country club pool with my father and I can ride in the Fourth of July Parade with my Cub Scout Pack 82. You have helped me alot.

Sincerely,

Dear Reginald,

What a wonderful gift you have given in your development of Pedal Magic! We have had a delightful experience with our son and the thrill of seeing that smile of accomplishment when he pulled up after his first Launch will never be forgotten! The frustration and avoidance of even the subject of bike riding that has been the proverbial "elephant in the living room" for the last two years is gone for good.

On our second night out, we had a family "tailgate" pizza party in the parking lot while Bryant rode. Our four-year-old has watched the video, but was on the sidelines, since his older brother's smaller bike (which was never ridden), is still just a little too big for him. So, he provided the color commentary: "And there goes Bryant, on his bicycle. He's slowing down; he's making the turn, YES! He made it. Bryant is in the lead! He's going really fast... He is going to win!" This went on throughout the evening! Brendan is now eagerly anticipating his first ride, and Bryant has declared that when he has children, he's going to teach them the "Pedal Magic way". Your legacy will live on for generations! What an accomplishment!

I tell my boys continually that intelligence without the application of common sense will only take them so far. Thank you not only for simplifying the process of teaching our children how to ride their bicycles, but proving that by thinking things through, real problems can be solved! I will be using you and Pedal Magic as an example for years!!

Last, but certainly not least, please tell your wife "thank you" for the motivation SHE provided, all those years ago!

With much gratitude,
Dawn Bowyer

Well we ordered your tape a few weeks ago...and today my son(almost age 11)rode a bike for the first time. It was so great...and he feels so good about it all he wants to do is ride...we started out watching the tape...then I had him practice..and then we did the practice with him until it seemed he had it down..I can't believe it!!!!

then today we launched him in our alley and I could tell he had it...but there wasnt'alot of room...so I suggested we go to the school parking lot...and...that was it...he was gone...even went around a corner..

he didn't want to stop..tonight at dinner he said he didn't know if he could have done it without getting the tape...

who knows...but the simple instructions on how to keep your balance....etc. and using the large area to ride...whatever it worked..I couldn't stop jumping up and down...

he finally admitted he was alittle embarrassed not being able to ride...never really told anyone of his friends..so his self confidence is boosted..

thanks again...

My daughter just turned 13 and for various reasons we never taught her to ride. We bought her a bicycle this weekend and I spent hours Sunday running along side her, trying to teach her balance.

That night I found your web site, the tape arrived this afternoon and a short while later she was riding around the neighborhood. Yours is truly a product that delivers on its promises.

By the way, I see from the website that you are now located in Frisco. We moved from Plano to Lincoln, NE last year.

Thank you for your hard work - hope your business prospers.

Subject: Thank you for the incredible video

Thank you so very much for your process of learning how to ride a bike. Our son is 7 years old and has Asperger Syndrome. Motor planning has not been a strong point for him and his occupational therapist recommended your video. The exercises made him much more aware how to move his body and how to steer. Even though he had used training wheels for years, he was still able to learn how to ride over this weekend. He is so excited and we are very proud of him. It is just wonderful that this could be such a positive experience for him. I plan to tell all my friends, especially the ones whose children struggle with gross motor planning, that they need to buy your video. Riding his bike like everyone else is one way that our son will now fit it.

We had one question. We have a 5 year old daughter and we are uncertain if we would need to buy another video in order to lawfully use the technique with her. We want to do what is right and know we want to use the technique with her.

Thank you for creating such a valuable approach and for taking the time to make it available to people through video. I can't tell you how thrilled we are.

Thank you, thank you, thank you millions.

You have saved the heart and pride of a 10 year old boy.

My son did not have a natural instinct for riding a bike and he had given up. Since he is a 'brainy' child, the scientific approach of pedal magic interested him. Within 1/2 hour of pedal magic techniques, he was pedaling on his own! And I had tears in my eyes. Every child deserves the feeling of 'flying' when he/she rides a bike.

FYI: My son invented two extra 'transitional' steps to the method...

I really can't thank you enough.
