Go out during the day.

Riding is possible at night but not recommended for

beginners. You’ll be spending a lot of time learning to balance. This means that,
as you get acclimated, the bike can swerve into traffic or other dangers you'll
have a hard time seeing. At night, drivers also have a more difficult time seeing
you.[6]
If you have to go out at night, wear light-colored clothing, reflective stickers,
and use bike headlights.

Mounting a Bicycle
Image titled Ride a Bicycle Step 5
1
Begin on a flat surface. Flat surfaces such as a driveway, sidewalk, quiet road, or
park trail are stable. There are no slopes, so the falls are shorter and you will
have an easier time balancing and coming to a stop.
Short grass and smooth gravel are also surfaces you can use. Falls will hurt less,
but these surfaces force you to pedal harder to move the bike.

Adjust the bike seat. Lower the bike seat far enough that whoever's riding can put
both of their feet flat on the ground while seated. A low seat allows you to stop
yourself with your feet before you fall. Adults don’t need to use training wheels,
but young children can use these or specialty balance bikes.[7]
It is possible to remove the pedals to keep them out of the way, but it isn’t
required.
