Some of the most rewarding sessions have been the most basic in some ways,
there has been a few adults I worked with who had never ridden before, so we are talking about doing the whole set your pedal thing as you do with children, and physically supporting the bike as you set them off.
Its work for patient hands but when they ride for the first time independently-- and keep going, youre rewarded with that magic bit that parents get.
from there up even basic stuff on roads comes as such an enlightenment for beginners they love it, see where theyre at and look through their eyes, meaning imagine you never rode before-the independence is liberating!it will be great (as long as its not pissing down again)
