So let's start slowly and simply.

Firstly don't bother with the pedals yet - that's right leave them alone.

Lower the seat until you can easily touch the ground, ideally you want to get your feet flat on the ground.

Now find somewhere without any vehicles, possibly an empty parking lot or somewhere safe like that. If you can, find one that has a mild slope.

Then just start pushing yourself along with your feet. Try using the brakes so you get able to stop, also start doing some gentle turns. When you get to be confident with this, use the slope to coast downhill. As you go downhill, gradually lift your feet and coast along.

Do not try THIS just yet!

When you feel more confident, start to raise the seat by about half an inch and try some more pushing yourself around and then coasting down the slope. Then raise the seat another half an inch and carry on again with the pushing and coasting.

When the seat is high enough, try resting one foot and then the other on the pedals when you are coasting. Just do it for a couple of seconds to start with.

Keep increasing your confidence like this and before you know it, you will start to push the pedals round!

It will then be time to think where you are going to ride to!!
Practice You're never too old to learn anything. If you don't have a bike, rent one. The way I learned was that it's easier to go down a slight hill without your feet on the ground than it is on a flat surface. Try to find an area where there is a small slope that ends in the ground being flat. This way, you can practice going down the slope with your feet off the ground (not necessarily on the pedals) and then turn quickly to begin going up the slope. It's easier to attempt to pedal when you have a bit of momentum and are going up a hill. Hopefully that made sense. Whatever your strategy is, if you keep at it you will be able to ride a bike in no time.

First just dont hesitate when you try because once you get the hang of it you will have the time of your life!!!!!!

First sit down...well that was simple
then try going short distances by pedalling but dont forget to keep your balance when you have done that try going farther and with time and practice you will get it

Hop on to one and move around by pushing off your feet. As you get more used to the feeling start pedaling.
