When I can actually go a few metres on a bike, I tilt to the side for some reason and have to put my foot down. And I feel as if I can't control the handlebars :S I'm 15, and slightly unco-ordinated with bad balance. Help?
Have you tried training wheels? Geeky as it sounds, they might help. Once your body gets used to having the bike upright, you can build muscle memory so that keeping balanced becomes automatic.
