Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

    All I need now is the knowledge, sense of balance, and confidence to ride a bicycle

        If you have enough balance and leg strength to walk

        That’s factually not true. I know you try to cheer them up and telling them, you don’t need special abillity or to be fit and sportive to bike, which is true, but what you are saying is not true. They is people with disabilities that affect balance that can walk but not bike at all.

      My country runs courses for adults to learn how to bike - maybe yours does the same?

      The more you ride, the better you get. Try include cycling into your exercise, and within a year you should be better with it.

      If you’re in need of some inspiration; Tom Scott on YouTube made a video of himself learning how to ride a bike. Seeing someone else learn something can be useful, and there’s a lot of little things in the video one can pick up on to avoid common mistakes.
