[quote=Anonymous]I used to babysit a boy who was 9 yrs old and very overweight. I think he weighed as much as I did and I was maybe 120lbs. He refused to try to ride a bike b/c he was overweight and it was hard for him. His parents gave up but I didn't. He seemed a bit more willing to try with me. I told him I wouldn't tell his parents that he was trying to learn. It took 6 months of practice for him but eventually he did it. Maybe outsource this to someone else. Make sure you start with a slightly smaller bike. Take the pedals off. Have him go down a gentle grassy slope. It is hard to start from a stop. Then, add the pedals back on once he gets the balance part down. [/quote]
