No Training Wheels: A Family Legacy of Teaching Children to Ride

Our Mission

We're creating a comprehensive online resource that will:

  • Provide customized training packages for different learning styles and situations
  • Share expert knowledge about bicycle selection and equipment
  • Guide families in making cycling a tool for strengthening parent-child bonds
  • Build a community where parents can share experiences and support each other

Looking Forward

While we're starting with our core expertise in teaching children to ride without training wheels, we plan to expand into other areas of parenting using the same systematic, proven approach that has made our cycling method so successful.

Join Our Community

With decades of experience and hundreds of success stories, we're excited to share our knowledge with a new generation of families. Whether you're teaching your first child to ride or looking to make cycling a bigger part of your family life, we're here to help every step of the way.

Our Story

What started as a surprising moment - watching my three-year-old son Tyler teach himself to ride a bike - turned into a multi-generational mission to help children discover the joy and confidence of cycling without training wheels. I'm Harvey Nix, and together with my son Tyler, we've developed a proven system that has helped hundreds of children learn to ride bikes safely and confidently.

The No Training Wheels Method

Our approach emerged from both systematic analysis and hands-on experience. As an engineer by mindset, I documented the natural learning process I observed in Tyler and refined it into a four-step system that worked successfully with my other children. This system became the foundation of our family book "Learning to Ride with the Nix's" and our community training programs.

From Local Classes to Global Impact

What began as informal lessons for friends and family evolved into structured classes at YMCAs and public parks. Tyler started teaching these classes in high school, bringing a unique perspective that resonated with both children and parents. His natural ability to connect with young riders while maintaining our systematic approach led to consistently successful outcomes.

The Next Generation

Today, Tyler has three sons of his own and has successfully taught his two oldest boys (now 5 and 3) to ride using our method - both mastering cycling by their third birthday. These experiences have inspired us to bring our proven approach to a wider audience through this online platform.
