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.

Thank You

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,

Okay, it worked.

My 10 year-old, 93 lb. son and I were beside ourselves with frustration over his inability to ride his bike and my inability to support him [physically] as he learned. We hit a crisis point last Sunday night, both of us in tears. I googled "how to learn to ride a bike," on the off-chance I'd find something new and helpful for us. Hello, Pedal Magic. We ordered it right away and watched it once. We immediately headed down to the garage where we practiced the ... exercise, followed by ... He got it.

We practiced these ... daily, in the evenings after all our other activities (karate, baseball, homework) were done. We planned to test out the system on Sunday (Easter), when there would be enough free time, daylight, and privacy to fund our efforts. When we woke Sunday morning, the weather was cold and blustery, but my son was determined to give it a go. We watched the video a second time, then headed back behind our house to the industrial park (nobody in sight!); and I launched him. Once. And he rode. We spent the entire day, off and on, riding. And shouting for joy!

Completely remarkable. "Thank you" doesn't even begin to cover it.

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.

Sincerely,

Riding together in Sacramento.

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.

Regards,
