Brantley Gilbert’s Bike Riding Advice
Brantley Gilbert has three kids.
His oldest son, Barrett will turn eight next month, but he’s been tearing it up on his bicycle – with no training wheels – since he was two.
Brantley offers his advice to parents who may have young kids who are trying to learn to ride a bike.
“We took his trainin’ wheels off at two. He has zero fear of anything. Here’s what you gotta do. Take the trainin’ wheels off of it, take him to the top of a big hill and just push him. Actually, don’t do that. No, (laugh) I took his trainin’ wheels off and he had a balance bike. He started on a balance bike. So, if you don’t have one of those, that’s the way to go. There aren’t any pedals on it. He just kind of felt his way, learned how to keep it on two wheels, and then, you know, we pulled the train wheels off of his other bike and he just took off.”
