Thank you! Not all of us adult riders are interested in road/mountain biking, and not all of us had the experience of learning as kids. This video is just right. I can’t believe I was doing the opposite 🫢

I just retired and I love to ride bikes instead of walking. But I was about to return my Verve 3 Low Step Trek bicycle, that I just purchase as a gift to myself, but thanks to this tutorial and hours of sourcing on the internet I’ll give myself a chance. Thank you much for taking the time. If you could do more regarding shifting that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for this awesome video.
