There's no need that heels touch as well, the front third may be enough. Then walk along while sitting on the saddle and try to cover distances lifting the feet and balancing. It will be a better exercise than with 'training wheels'. Once you got the twist you'll lift the saddle and put the pedals back on. Good luck. | |

Perhaps it is too large for you, or it's not adjusted properly. And I find that the super-wide handlebars they often put on cheap bikes are hard to manage. | |

As soon as you can ride straight without either training wheel on the ground, take them off. It sounds agonizing - you've already tried to do what we would all do in this position. The issue is that you're trying to train your autonomous nervous system. It takes a while, and can be frustrating. If you didn't say not to, I would be recommending that you persevere. But now that you've chosen this other course, stick at it. But also, check if there are any problems with your balance. | |
