WINDOW (see CORRECT drawing).

TIP: If you are having trouble making the bike go straight without

falling over, try using the wheelie bar. The wheelie bar helps to

balance the bike. This is similar to training wheels on a bicycle.

Note: With practice, your runs will become straighter and longer

and you will no longer need the assistance of the wheelie bar.

3. Place the bike on a

smooth flat surface.
4. Raise the front end of

the bike into the air so

that only the rear

wheel and the wheelie

bar are resting on the

ground (e).

5.Give your bike a firm

push in the direction

you want to go,

remembering to guide

the bike with your

hand for1-2 feet before

releasing,as explained

above (f).
