Teaching a kid how to ride a bike isn’t easy (says a dad). We, as adults, have likely forgotten the many skills we needed to learn in order to roll down the road on a multi-geared bicycle. Balancing, pedaling, braking, shifting gears—there’s a lot to keep track of. As to flattening the learning curve with training wheels, just no. Kids need to learn how to
countersteer—not steer—in order to ride a bike, which is part of why we have chosen to review the Himiway C1. Well, that and it’s awesome.
So for a kid to learn how to balance on something with two wheels, they need to be moving fast enough for the wheels to generate enough gyroscopic effect to hold the bike upright. The Himiway C1 simplifies learning how to ride by making it easier for kids to achieve enough speed to balance, without turning them into pint-sized
Evel Knievels.
