Using the Pedal Sprout bike is easy. First, if your child is just starting out, attach the removable training wheels. Let your child sit on the bike, hold the BMX - style handlebars, and place their feet on the pedals. Push off gently to start moving. As your child gets more confident, you can remove the training wheels. When riding, always make sure your child wears a helmet for safety. Keep the bike in a dry place to prevent the steel frame from rusting. Check the chain regularly and keep it lubricated. If the bike gets dirty, you can wash it with a mild soap and water, but avoid getting water in the moving parts.
