Frisky070802's Journal: Pedal Magic -- awesome

My daughter turns twelve this week. She's never been eager to learn to ride a bike, and she went through several bikes, each with training wheels, while never biking often enough to really learn. This week we bought a full-size bike, which turns out not to be available with training wheels unless we custom order something as expensive as the bike. Turns out we didn't need to. While researching this, my wife found Pedal Magic, a site with a downloadable video that claims to teach anyone to ride, without training wheels. And it worked exactly as advertised. She watched the 15-minute video, did several minutes of exercises taught on the video, and went out and was riding independently in just a few minutes. After a day at the wildest Yankee game I may ever have attended, we went back out with the bike. Another few minutes and she almost looked like she'd been riding for years. Well, almost :). We're about to get a new bike for our 6-year-old, and we'll skip the training wheels and go straight to Pedal Magic. Joe Bob says, check it out.
