I received your website from an occupational therapist that my 6 year old son went to see. She made the statement that having a child watch the video once seemed to be all it would take to have them up and riding. I finally sat down this weekend and ordered the video online. 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!!!

Completely Amazed mom,

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. Regards, happy mum.

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.

Best regards,

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!

Thanks for providing this service! My big girl (9) is already riding confidently, after just one session of teaching the techniques and a few days of practicing to un-train the habits she learned with her training wheels. Her little sister (8) is hot on her heels.

My child is ten, has ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder], learning disabilities and is physically developmentally delayed. We've tried to teach her to ride a bike every year using traditional methods but never got far at all. She was embarrassed and felt bad about herself. With your method she learned in about ten minutes.

She was so excited and happy, and very proud of herself.

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.

Thank you,

Very satisfied customer!

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!

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.

This product was absolutely amazing. I watched it once with my 2 boys and they were riding within 5 minutes. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you very much and it was awesome to see the look of accomplishment they had.

... 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,

I tried your technique with my son today. Within one hour he was riding his bike unassisted. My son is nearly 10 years old and has struggled for several years to ride a bike. He has developmental coordination disorder and we were told that he would have difficulty riding a bike or may never be able to.

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!

Here's a photo of my little guy on the day he learned to ride last month. (This was later in the day. We went to a parking lot to learn but he had to show off for his friends in the neighborhood.) 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. :)

You can see how happy he is! :)

I don't know how to thank you. My 11-year old daughter was black and blue from ankle to knee on both legs from struggling to ride a bike. She'd sobbed through two previous two-hour lessons. Five minutes after watching your video she was peddling around a parking lot, beaming.

THANK YOU

I am going to tell EVERYONE I know about our experience...My son is 9 years old and up until now we have had a hard time trying to teach him to ride a bike...Both he and I watched the video yesterday and went to a private place to practice. Today he is riding his bike in our neighborhood with his friends. Honestly, I wish I had this years ago...This is nothing short of a miracle and thank you so much for providing this...He said this was one of the best days of his life!

Dear Reginald

There is nothing more that I can mention than say that you must arrange for the link of your site to be prioritized in the various search engines for the benefit of those outside the US.

It was as scientifically approached as it can possibly be and the results are as promised, provided all issues are considered in the most minute details as have been mentioned in the video.

Great. Thanks for making the world a safer one for the bicyclist and the other road users.

Follow-up ... We returned to the same playground today ... in the parking lot for the 7 and 5 year old to work on basic navigation while I worked my 4 year old. 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 have given them all your website with a very hearty and happy endorsement! I'm sure you'll be getting some hits from this!

Thanks again!

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 just wanted to take a minute and let you know that Pedal Magic was a great help to me. 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.

Sincerely,

Hello Reginald Joules,

Thank you so much for developing this wonderful technique. We bought our 10 year-old daughter a new bicycle for Christmas. She had a bicycle with training wheels when she was younger, but has not ridden for years. Now that she's 10 years old, and much larger, the bicycles in her size didn't come with training wheels. Well, THANK GOD we knew about your video. We all watched the video together on the computer yesterday and then went outside to begin the drills...

We were AMAZED, to say the least, to see our 10 year old daughter riding her bicycle yesterday within 15 MINUTES of watching your video. It was almost unbelievable!

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.

Your video has helped our family have a very merry, enjoyable, and unforgettable Christmas.

THANK YOU,

Please add us to the list of customers thrilled, and astounded, with your product!!! Our seven year-old son has a physical disability that impacts motor planning/control and balance. Last Sunday (after a summer of "trying") he told me, "it breaks my heart when I see other kids riding bikes," so I splurged the $20. We spent an exciting Labor Day downloading the video, sitting with him watching it and riding within 45 minutes! Today, six days later, we all took a 2 mile ride!! We are all so excited, and can't thank you enough. We've already sung your praises to occupational, physical and speech therapists. And, as a teacher, I can't wait to spread the word to any parents who tell me their little ones are having trouble. Thanks a MILLION!!!!

Today is Sunday March 26, 2006. I googled you, read your wife's post, purchased the very affordable video,
watched it myself, watched it with my step-daughter, and went to a parking lot.

Today my 15 year old daughter, who could not ride a bike is now a proud member of the bike riding set
after only 20 minutes of using your method. I CANNOT recommend you any more highly.

You simplified my convoluted previous plans with sound guidance and simple lessons. She has erased her
embarrassment and fears on a sunny Sunday and we owe it all to you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

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!

Sincerely!

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.

Pedal Magic ... is magic on wheels!

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.

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
