How can I convince my parents to let me ride my bike?
Step 1: is it safe around you to cycle? Have you had some proficiency or cycling training? Do you have a helmet and a phone? Are you simply riding for a means of transport or hanging out with your mates? Do you carry spares, tools?if it is transport and they’re all yes. Then here’s the next step.2. Get a bike with your parents and for the first year get a bike they want you to have. Practical chunky mountain hybrid perhaps? Get a helmet that has a good safety rating.3. buy a high visibility jacket and some lights. Your parents are like an insurance company the more reassurance of YOUR SAFETY you provide the more they will let you out.4. Get some nationally approved bicycle training.5. Get a go pro or head cam for your safety if you get hurt.6. PARENT APPROVAL is key to where you cycle.7. Don’t act like a dick, remember your parents might be getting friends of the family to keep an eye on you. So for the first year be sensible, the roads are dangerous.8. Year 2, (say “mum’ dad” whoever brings you up) I feel confident and safe on the roads I’d like road or whatever bike and join a cycling club. The key is here the safety in numbers. You’re not on your own.9. Maybe say to your parents this is Steve ect….I ride with him and he will likely say your son/daughter is a pleasure to ride with. This reassurance will likely say go on son/daughter.10. Parents might see potential and then push you to compete the struggle should be over. But can I stress even chris Froome drives a car and having a drivers license is also very important if you want a job and a life.One day you might get a cannondale.
How can i convince my parents to let me ride my bike to school?

How can I convince my mom to let me ride my bike to my friends house?
Tell her it's ok. Statistically, biking is the 3rd safest mode of transportation after elevators/escalators, and airplanes in first. I'm 13 years old and I've biked to the police station (3 mines) and my ex's house (9 miles mostly in the road). The cars will let you go. They won't just randomly come and hit you. If you're crossing at an intersection, then that's even safer because there's traffic lights, etc. Cars aren't stupid. They care about your safety and their insurance accounts. If you do get hit and it goes to court, you will most likely prevail. I know this because I've been hit before, and even though I broke the guy's windshield, I had all of my hospital fees covered and didn't have to pay for her windshield. Tell your mom not to be overprotective. You should be OK with biking a mile. A mile isn't far at all.
How do I convince my parent to let me ride a motorbike?
Hey there.You can drive a motorcycle at 18. You don't need your parents permission. I know you’re “aware” of the dangers of riding a motorcycle, but still allow me to illustrate why some parents might not want you to drive one. Again. Once you turn 18 it’s your choice, my friend.Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Mike. I’m 30 years old.I have a friend named Duncan, he’s currently 24. He was in a motorcycle accident. Not his fault.He spent a year in and out of the hospital receiving surgeries, recuperating from the loss. His life was forever change.I have a friend named Kevin. He just got into an accident this past February. Not his fault. His leg was amputated, and he now is out of work, and recovering from multiple surgeries as well.Please know that if you choose to ride a motorcycle, you are entering a world where even if you are the safest driver to have ever existed, someone on the road could make a poor decision, and forever change your life, and incapacitate you for the worse.This may not happen, but that is the risk you are going to take.I wanted to get a motorcycle myself once upon a time. I’ve decided not to do so based on the fact that the thrill doesn’t justify the risk.Unfortunately no one will be able to make this choice for you, but I wanted to let you know that I fully supported my friends rights, and my rights to want to own, and drive a motorcycle, but there were consequences to it, even with careful and responsible driving.It’s dangerous. You’re not going to convince your parents that it’s not. It’s whether you are willing to do it anyway even though it is dangerous.That’s your decision. I and many others will respect the decision either way, but your parents who birthed and raised you are probably not going to be as impartial.
How to convince my mom to let me get a motorcycle?
(TAKE A MSF CLASS!!!) My Son is 15 and Next yr I will be letting him Buy a bike from me. It will not be his only means of getting a round. I would Try to Talk her in to a Scooter frist and then work my way up. Ok your talking about a MOM... in my Army time as a recruiter MOMs are not ez to talk to about thing when it comes to there kids. You need to sit down with her and give her good resoning for buying a Bike. The worst thing you could do in this case is just go out and Buy one. She would feel that her say doesn’t matter and it would hurt your relationship with her. In Marking and Sales there are a few tricks to get someone to buy off on your proposal 1.Give the facts why you think it is a good proposal. . 2.Use 3 points of agreement for Example; do you agree that I am a safe responsible person. Do you agree that a motorcycle would save us $$$ per year in gas maint and ins. Do you agree that with the proper training and safety equipment that a motorcycle is no more unsafe than a car? 3.If you get 3 yes close the deal So you think it is a good thing that WE get a motorcycle now if you get an objection for any of your points or on you close Do this ask what the objection is well you have a reason for say no may I ask what that is? (Two types of objections ones based if fact and those based on feeling.) *Then restate her objection then put a spin on it Like Let just motorcycle where just as safe as cars would you want me to have one then? If yes move to the next step if no that not the reason so ask why would you still say no? then go back to (*) 4.Always say I understand how you feel, I felt the same way at first but I found that. You are 10 Times more likely to be in a car crash than a bike crash use a fact. Feeling objection are always the hardest to over come. But still use facts in your in your proposal. 5.Last thing to say is so when do we want to go bike shopping? Good Luck
How do I convince my parents to let me ride my bike to school?
I am 16 years old and live 3 miles away from school, and since I won't be getting a car anytime soon and I want to exercise and enjoy the outdoors everyday instead of always sitting on a bus, I'd love to ride my bike to school. But my parents think its really unsafe.. even if I wear a helmet. But the route to school is pretty straight forward.. there's only one turn outside of the neighborhood. And its on a double lane road. The only problem is that there are no sidewalks and the they made the land on the side of the road slant down for storm water (and after that a line of trees), so I can only ride on the road. But I've seen many people ride bikes on the road and its fine. And is 3 miles really a lot? It takes about 6 minutes to drive to school. How can I convince my parents to let me ride? I live in a nice town and its really rural.. on my way to school I only pass by 1 other development, the rest is just trees bordering wide open spaces. I wouldn't ride the bike if the weather was going to be bad or anything, too. What can I do? I don't want to only be able to ride my bike in the neighborhood. But I live in Texas and most kids my age have cars and everything.. my parents said I should ask my friends if they'd ever consider riding bikes but I'm not run by what friends do. But it would be cool if I started riding and other people wanted to join as well. Where can I buy cool, affordable fix-gear bicycles too? my current bicycle is from elementary school and its too small, and has several other issues as well. I wouldn't mind buying a used bike if it fit me, looked nice, and was efficient. Preferably bikes under $100, but under $200 is good as well Thanks so much if you can help with any of this!
My Mom won't let me ride my bike of the street?
My Mom won't let me ride my bike on the street and I'm 13. I turned 13 yesterday and I got a bike for my birthday. I asked my mom if I could ride it on the street and she said no because somebody would take me. I'm homeschooled and don't have any friends because of that. I had a choice to take a class at the local middle school and I did take 2 but I didn't like it. I was too shy to talk to any of them and I wasn't like them. So i'm not taking anymore. I told her everybody is at work nobody will take me and she said exactly nobody is around. I see where she is coming from but to the end of the street is 2 minutes by bike. It's not even far. There hasn't been any reports of any killing or kidnapping or anything like that around here. Theres also a trail behind our house that she doesn't let me go on. She always says how when she was little she had such a great time walking the streets of boston when she was 13. it's unfair. She said I have to with my sisters if I wanna go on the street but they don't get home until 3:30. I'm not waiting. I spent my whole life so far waiting and relying on someone else to entertain me. I want to entertain myself. All I have been is upset lately. Not just because of that but because sometimes I get really lonely and feel like I'm wasting my childhood away. I'm not like these other happy kids who have friends and all the freedom in the world. What should I do? Please help i'm crying right now. I know this is long but I would really appreciate it if you helped me.
Convince parents to let me ride a bike without a helmet?
Wrong place to get the help you want. I guess you'd also want us to convince them you don't need a life jacket when you're in a boat or a safety harness when scaling a climbing wall. Yeah, I know the kids tease you about wearing a helmet, does look sorta dorky,and isn't really comfortable, but no way is a responsible person gonna side with you on this one. Hope you never need it, but it could save your life or save you from permanent brain damage. This in turn will save your parents a world of grief. You owe them that. Wear the helmet or stay off the bike, especially when riding on sidewalks. They are dangerous places for a bicycle. Obstructions, uneven concrete, blind driveways, limbs hanging over, ppl.
My mum wont let me ride my bike!?
Yes, you certainly should be able to go off riding your bike on your own. I completely understand the fear of your mum though...as a parent I am always worrying about anything I see my kids do, yet when I grew up we were out and about from young ages pretty much all day and our parents didn't seem to be concerned...I don't know how they did it. It is hard for mothers and especially with thier youngest...are you the youngest? All I can suggest is you sit down with your mum and talk to her very respectfully and explain you understand that it is often very difficult to let your kids go, to grow up and you worry about them, but even though it is difficult, a parent has to let their kids get some independance so they can learn to be ready for the real world. You are growing up fast and you need to be prepared...if she holds on too tight you will not be able to look after youself when you need to be able to. Ask her if she can work at letting go a little more at a time...such as starting with this bike thing and letting you go for rides on your own. Do not say this to her, but she is being selfish because she is putting her feelings before your needs...I understand it...but it is selfish. I hope she is able to start letting go. Good Luck!
