Learning cycling
-
Thanks Big Devil. Maybe Kiddos and myself can go learn from this guy.
4 1hr lessons seem manageable.
Maybe make it a June Hols activity. -

Bigdevil, thanks for the info!! The guy only teaches at his bicycle shop?
I guess so. He basically lives in the HDB block above his shop, and when he's conducting lesson, his wife will man the shop. So I don't think he will be travelling to other locations to conduct the lessons since his shop is actually his main business. And from what I can tell, he has no shortage of students. -
If you find it too troublesome to carry your children’s bike for the lesson, then you can just use one of his. He has plenty of used bicycles of all sizes which he sells or uses them for lessons.
To be frank, his teaching method is nothing special. He rides next to the student and whenever they show sign of losing balance, he will grab their bike or give them a little shove to help them maintain balance. But I guess it’s his experience and quick reflexes that enable him to do it so well. So the students build confidence and lose the fear of falling since they don’t fall at all! -
hahahahahah…ya, speed and reflexes must be fast in grabbing handlebars…otherwise sure KAPUT on the floor.

As of last month, we paid $200 for the 4 lessons.

The place he teaches is open public area. You can always go there and observe how he teaches, and try to duplicate it. If you can master his technique, it can become your second income!

One word of advice...space out the lessons. We saw one kid takiing his 3rd lesson in as many days. The grandma said his mother booked the coach for the 4 lessons on 4 consecutive days. The boy was crying as he was cycling! Think he developed more fear of cycling than love! :roll:
