暑假在家里教Emily学习骑自行车，花了一个星期她就学会了。

想想学自行车的技巧是什么呢，怎么用英语表达呢？又有哪些关键字词呢？

1、Find a safe place to practice.
考虑练习骑车地方的安全性
Concrete is the easiest surface to bike on but is unforgiving if you fall.

水泥地光滑容易上手，但摔下来也够受的。

(With correct braking technique and a properly adjusted seat, however, this should not be an issue. See steps below for more details.)

Short grass or even tidy gravel would be acceptable alternatives for anyone who feels panicky about falling, but be forewarned that these surfaces make balancing harder and offer more resistance to bike tires.

如果怕痛怕受伤，可以选择草地或沙子地，缺点是比较难掌握平衡，车子的阻力比较大。

Wherever you end up going, make sure it has both flat areas and gentle slopes (to help you build momentum) but no tight spaces, steep slopes, or traffic.

2、Make sure you know how to ride a bike safely.
练习骑车安全第一位
If it is your first time riding, consider lowering the seat so that you can put most of your feet on the ground while seated.

初次学骑车，降低座位，使得你的脚可以够着地。

 You should also check the tire pressure, brakes, and such.

别忘记检查轮胎气压和刹车性能等

 If you’re wearing long jeans or other long pants, be sure to roll up the right pant leg so it doesn’t get caught in the mechanisms on the right side of the bike.

如果穿比较长的裤子，记得卷起一些，以免卷进车子的机械装置。

Avoid long skirts or baggy clothing (which could become caught in the gears or tires) and flimsy or open-toed shoes (which might prevent you from stopping yourself effectively should you opt not to use the brakes).

3、Make sure you know how to brake.

学会如何刹车
While practicing, it’s a good idea to allow yourself a long distance over which to brake gently so that you feel prepared to dismount if necessary.

练习时，如果要下车休息，慢慢地平稳刹车。

4、Mount the bicycle. With the seat lowered, this should be a breeze.
坐上自行车

5、Practice balancing on the bike.
找到平衡感
Push yourself along a flat surface with your feet and get the feel of how the bike leans and steers.在平地上用双脚感觉车子的倾斜性，车头的灵活性。

Do this until you have a good feel and some confidence about steering the bike. Try pushing yourself along fast and "gliding" with your feet up in the air, steering only with your hands. Notice the tendency of your body to lean slightly into the curve to keep balance when just using your hands to steer. When you are up to it, instead of using your hands, try to make turns with your body and let the bike follow you; you'll notice that the front wheel will also make the turn automatically. This is the key bike-riding skill: balancing and steering. Take as much time with this step as you need to feel confident.

6、Practice gliding down gentle slopes.
练习缓坡滑行
Walk the bike to the top of a slope that ends in a sizeable flat area, mount it (keeping one or both feet on the ground until you’re ready), and glide down, allowing yourself to slow naturally in the flat area at the bottom. Dismount and repeat as necessary to get used to the feel of the speed, balance (which should be easier now that your speed has increased), and incline

7、Get ready to ride.
开始骑车
Raise the seat a bit, but still keep it low enough so that you can touch the ground with the tip of your toes while seated.

8、Pedal down the slope and onto the flat area.
下斜坡上平地，脚踩踏板
Use the techniques you learned while gliding to pedal and steer, only this time, instead of stopping on the bottom, continue biking along the flat surface. Practice making gradual turns, then sharper turns. Brake to a complete stop and try putting only one foot out to hold yourself up

9、Pedal from a complete stop on the flat area.
从完全静止状态到上车并骑行
Make sure the pedal your foot is currently on is level with the other (free) pedal, then begin pushing it down with that foot as you lift the other foot onto the pedal and begin biking. Do this until you’re comfortable starting and stopping on a flat surface.

10、Pedal up the slope.
学会骑车上坡
Bike from the flat area up the slope to get used to the additional work you have to do to move uphill. Lean forward into the pedaling or even stand up to give yourself extra power. Bike up and down the slope several times until you’re comfortable with both. When you feel confident enough to do so, bike halfway up the slope, come to a complete stop, and re-start pedaling upwards. Once you can do this with ease, you’re ready for a more challenging terrain.
