Learning steps

The progression, paced to nerve not calendar. Each phase is done only when it's comfortable and a little boring — moving up while it's still scary is how a fall teaches the wrong lesson. No rushing; the wobble leaves when it leaves.

Phase 1 — Balance (pedals off)

• Saddle low enough to sit with both feet flat
• Walk the bike sitting down, then longer glides with feet up
• On a gentle slope: coast with feet up for a count of five, steering into the coast
• Done when: gliding with feet up feels easy and fun, not brave.

Phase 2 — Pedals

• Pedals back on, saddle raised a little
• Start with one foot on a pedal, one push, then find the other pedal
• Running-alongside hand for balance — let go without announcing it (the announcement is what causes the wobble)
• Done when: pedalling ten metres unassisted, twice.

Phase 3 — Road sense (from day one, not the end)

• Stop-and-look at every driveway and corner
• Ride predictably — straight lines, no sudden swerves
• Understand where a car driver can and cannot see a small rider
