1 Engage a low speed, such as 1-1, 1-2, or 1-3, so that you move forward very slowly.

2 Move as slowly as you can while maintaining balance. This will help you drive more on the rear wheel, as it is much more difficult to drive on the rear wheel at high speed.

3 At low speed, squeeze a little against the steering wheel and immediately pull the steering wheel towards you to "lift" the front wheel from the ground.

4 In the initial position, the lead pedal should be at 11 o'clock. Then, to raise the front wheel, you need to simultaneously press down on the pedal and pull the steering wheel towards you.

5 Continue pedaling.

6 Pull the steering wheel towards you and pedal. If you do everything correctly, you should be riding on the rear wheel. To stay on the rear wheel, you need to position the center of gravity above the rear wheel. Control how much the front wheel is raised.

7 Try not to accelerate and pedal evenly. You will feel when you start to lose your balance. Maintain balance with your pedaling speed. If you fall backward, stick to the handlebars and pedal less often.

8 If you fall completely backwards, lightly apply the rear brake. If you realize that the brake will no longer help you, jump back from the bike so as not to fall on your back. Do not jump off immediately, try to find your balance again and continue riding on the rear wheel.

9 Do not apply the front brake when lowering the front wheel to the ground, you may fall over the handlebars.

Tips

• Do not ride the rear wheel with the clipless pedals; if you fall backwards, you will not be able to jump.
• First of all, learn how to use the rear brake to avoid falling backwards:
• Adjust the seat and handlebar heights to be comfortable, try placing your weight forward and backward while standing on the pedals.
• When practicing to ride the rear wheel, keep your finger on the rear brake to quickly lower the front wheel and avoid falling.
• If you fall to the side, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction to help keep your balance.
• Lighten the bike. Remove fenders and other accessories to lighten the front.
• It is very convenient to learn to ride on the rear wheel on a road with a slight incline.
• It will take time to learn how to ride the rear wheel well, don't think it's that easy. Do not rest on what is written in this article, try to do as your body tells you, this may be the secret of success.
• If your bike has gears, try starting with the smallest gear and then gradually increase.
• Everything comes with experience, please be patient.
